Christian Dior with ModeLabs

Release: October 2008
Current Price: From $5,375

Indicative of what the future may hold for designer cell phones, Christian Dior recently introduced its own line of in-house designed cellular handsets, which were manufactured by startup mobile company ModeLabs. The Dior Phone, designed exclusively for women, comes with a Bluetooth-connected mini phone that can be attached to a bag or hidden in hand. Other features include crystal clear sound quality, exclusive melodies for ringtones, and a standby time of more than 400 hours. The phone's high price makes clear that it's not aimed at mass-market fashion wannabes.
