Nokia launches special edition phone


Nokia has launched a brand new special edition phone that will allow trendsetters in Bahrain to extend style and individuality beyond their wardrobes to their mobile phones.

The result of a collaboration with graphic and fashion designer Frédérique, the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism graphic design was created exclusively by Daubal whose signature illustrations have gained attention from the fashion world – culminating in collaborations between some of its finest names.

Daubal’s graphic designs on the illustrated aluminium back covers have also been an inspiration for the spellbinding wallpapers in the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism. The covers have been etched with laser technology making the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism a truly beautiful object to behold.

In creating this unique design, inspiration is taken from the way in which crystals are formed in precious stones and minerals. Light, and the way it refracts in intricate prisms, is seen as the perfect medium through which to highlight this quality. Together with Nokia’s expert technology, this is expressed in several unique ways.

Firstly, in the crystal centre key, which sits within the diamond-shaped keypad pattern. It carries the same allure as a beautiful clasp on a couture clutch bag, or the set of a precious stone in a piece of fine jewellery, making the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism a collectible and cherished item.

Secondly, in the captivating light effects, which appear on the stunning two-inch OLED screen when the phone is switched on or off, or left in idle mode. All this adds to a truly exclusive feel. For those who follow fashion but set trends, the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism is the epitome of great style and individuality.

Contemporary colours such as rich burgundy and minimal black, remind us that this is very much a fashionable and highly coveted object. These colours are considered a confident and sophisticated choice for products across a growing range of lifestyle items, from boutique hotel interiors to the lining of a bespoke suit.

Added to this, Nokia has designed an exclusive range of accessories that add instant glamour to any outfit it is worn with. These include a new earpiece, which is colour-matched with the back cover to maintain a seamless sense of style. Elsewhere, a unique new pouch, packaging and complementary textile print illustrate Daubal’s elaborate drawings.

In addition to the 1GB built in memory space and 2 mega pixel camera (perfect for capturing those red carpet moments) the Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism also boasts 6 band capabilities – to stay connected around the world.

Ritu Beri designs for Air India crew

Eminent Indian fashion designer Ritu Beri has been roped in by national carrier Air India to design the new uniform for its cabin crew and ground staff.

The national carrier, which has been formed by merging Air India and Indian, has gone in for a complete makeover to reflect its aspiration to be a "powerful" global entity.

The design of the new uniforms draw inspiration from the Sun Temple of Konark in Orissa, yet maintains a modern outlook. The colour palette of the uniform is red, orange, black and white, with red standing for strength and orange for cultural roots.

"The endeavour is to combine our rich Indian colours and motifs from the Sun Temple with the powerful and more modern combination of black and white in the borders," a statement from Air India said.

The uniform for the female employees, both ground staff and cabin crew, would include sarees, tunics, scarves, jackets, coats, aprons and shoes, while there would be specially designed ties for the male staff.
