Geek, meet Fashion. Fashion, meet Geek.

I love when geek meets fashion, so I was pleasantly surprised when I opened my inbox last week and found a flyer from Armani Exchange with their newest geeky endeavor:

Eagerly, I picked up my beloved iPhone and tapped in the URL. I was happy to find a pretty quick mobile website that looked great on screen. I’m not sure yet how useful mobile shopping is when it comes to clothes (books, DVD’s and etc, I can see), but I’m hoping Armani Exchange can pave the way.

I’d like to surf the site on a more legacy device (can’t believe I’m calling the old 4.2-4.6 BlackBerry devices ‘legacy’, but I am!) and maybe something new and cool (BlackBerry Onyx & Motorola Droid).

Did I mention I’m a geek?

Anyways, screenshots of a few screens through the shopping experience.

First screen that pops up - choose a category.

A very pretty dress! I didn’t take a screenshot of the actual category view, but it was very basic - photo, price, clicky the link. The actual product view is also very minimal.

On to checkout. Aside from that missing image up at the top (what’s up with that!), it’s pretty standard 2-flow checkout process. It is secure - but I opted not to buy that dress :)  (regardless of how pretty it is)

Huzzah!
