Bar Rafaeli walks the catwalk with... an iphone?



The Daily Mail reported yesterday on a rather peculiar catwalk styling…

Bar Rafaeli, the 27-year-old model of the moment walked the catwalk earlier in the week for Spanish brand, Desigual – fronting their Autumn/Winter ‘We Love’ collection. She wore their bold designs in the colours of the season, accessorised with an iphone… in a pink plastic case.

The model looked bemused as she toted the phone up and down the catwalk. It seemed to be a last minute styling decision as the phone did not even coordinate with the Autumnal pallet of the collection and in all honesty, just looked rather odd!

In fact, it is not as random an idea for a catwalk show as one might initially think- Phone cases and covers are becoming the new ‘must have accessory’. With people spending hundreds of pounds on smart phones, consumers are now investing in higher quality cases that match their lifestyles. Just as your bag, briefcase or shoes can say a lot about you- so can your phone case! Looking at Bar Rafaeli’s face- she clearly already knows this!

Had the designers invested in a premium Italian leather cover, like the Fenice Cima (£99) in on-trend brown, then perhaps Bar’s face would have told a different story!
