Acer goes into fashion with a crazy pink selfie hat

A while ago Sony introduced the perfume bottle-shaped Cyber-Shot camera for ladies who love selfies and everybody thought the company went crazy.

Not long afterwards another nutty concoction made an appearance – the selfie brush which is actually a case for your trust iPhone. The idea behind this basically useless accessory is that selfie-addicts might like to brush up on their looks before taking a photograph.

And it seems the selfie-centric device galore is barely starting to be unleashed. Acer, for example, has showed up at the London Fashion Week, but it didn’t come empty handed.

Tablets and laptops might not be considered much of a clothing item, but the tech giant has found a way to blend fashion and technology in one surreal-looking “selfie hat” (as seen at Pocket-Lint).

Yes you read that right, we said “selfie hat.” The accessory is described as “one-of-a-kind couture” hat and was designed by the Acer with the help of fashion designer Christian Cowan-Sanluis.

Haute-couture enthusiasts might be the only ones appreciating this pink, glittery sombrero that spins with 360 degrees. But the creepiness doesn’t end here, the hat has an integrated Acer Iconia A1-840 tablet, which should help the wearer snap their desired selfies.

Basically, you’ll be able to twist and turn the sombrero until you find the perfect angle and lighting that feeds your obsessive-compulsive selfie passion.

Would you pay for a glittery, pink selfie hat? Acer thinks so

The hat was put on display at the London Fashion Week and is actually an item you can purchase. But you have to book an appointment first, with designer Cowan-Sanluis himself. He will give you a personal introduction of this piece of artillery and a few tips on how to use it too.

Having a tablet on your hat doesn’t only mean you can snap selfies on a big screen. You can also access your Facebook or Instragram accounts where you can quickly upload your latest works of arts.

We don’t know how much these piece of high-fashion will cost , but they will certainly not come cheap. We imagine that eccentric individuals such as Lady Gaga might be interested in purchasing such an item, because snapping selfies at concerts might be useful for their social media strategy.

Anyway, the hat is only offered with a pink coloring option, so if wearing a hat with a tablet attached isn't screaming “I’m special” enough for you, the bold hue will certainly attract everyone's eyes.

Take a tour through the gallery and check out this crazy fashion accessory for yourself, before you start weeping for humanity!
