More and more customers are ready to pay huge amounts of money for their gadgets to be embellished according to the latest fashions. Hadphones, mobile phones, stereo systems, PCs, iPads and a lot of other devices are constantly being blinged up by jewelmakers worldwide.
The cameras have already started to get such treatments and the process carries on thanks to the Japanese designer Jay Tsujimura, who decked a Classic Leica camera with all sorts of superb adornments.
He boasts with two different design patterns, the Premium Floral and the Premium Lizard. After observing antique markets and architecture, as well as taking inspiration from history, he created ornaments for the camera, like the ones for the hot shoe and soft release components, in the form of some gorgeous stippled textures resembling reptilian leather.
To be honest, the designs are pretty cool and could easily be the targets of enthusiasts, and, why not, collectors.
