Fashion and technology reunite on the runway at Tam’s New York Fashion Week show...
Introducing this season’s must-have tech accessory for fashionistas around the globe – the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition. Dressed in sleek champagne and affectionately knowns as a “digital clutch”, the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam Edition is ultra-thin, feather light and a perfect companion to your smart, chic dressed-up style.
