Band_of_Outsiders_03.jpg

It's not all that often I get to step away from the world of technology and enter the kingdom of glamor. So when Sony invited me to a fashion show, I was more than game. A label called Band of Outsiders (which I believe is actually designer Scott Sternberg, not an entire band) decided that instead of a traditional runway show, it would shoot models slouching around artfully in the cloths ahead of time, then use Sony products to project and display them.

Considering that the Saturday event began right in the middle of New York's dose of Tropical Storm Hanna, the turnout was impressive. (I did have a tough time feeling like a fashionista in sopping-wet clothing, but I was not alone in my dampness.) How well did the tech work? It looked really good; the novelty made the show fun; and the ability to thoroughly check out all the clothes was, I'd think, a boon for folks who actually follow this stuff. But it did seem people were more into chatting with one another and checking out Kirsten Dunst (the label's main female model) than gazing at the videos for long. Still, it was a scene--and a lot of fun.

Pics and a few more tech details, after the jump.
