If My Phone Could Talk

by Caleb on April 20, 2011

Looking forward to all the networking, learning, and (hopefully not too much) drinking that comes with it. Headed there yourself? Let’s connect.

With this being high fashion’s defining moment and all, we were bound to see some experimentation. Ralph Lauren takes it to new levels with the recently released Make Your Own Rugby [iTunes link]. The app allows the user to start from scratch with their own blank rugby shirt, polo, sweater or jacket, and make designs [...]
