by Allen Clapp

Last time it was a buzzword, “convergence” was a gath-ering of forces and energies that were supposed to enrich our lives and change the world in the late 1980s. The

so-called Harmonic Convergence did see the end of Apartheid and the fall of the Soviet Union.

But in today’s “convergence of new media” the word is getting so much ink it’s hard to believe it was ever associated with anything other than Podcasts, instant vid-eos of anything and everything on YouTube, or telephones that take pictures and send e-mail.

To the tech-savvy, it means computers and smart devices are finally making good on all the wonders that the digital revolu-tion has been promising for the

past decade or two.To the average consumer, it

means finally being able to watch a movie on your cell phone, or build a mobile, shareable library of your favorite music or photos.

And now, to the fashion ma-vens among us, it means cool tech gadgets have become the latest in wardrobe accessories.

New micro-music players are designed to be seen — and worn — as well as heard. Bluetooth cell phone earpieces are being inte-grated into sunglasses, and camer-as the size of cigarette lighters are becoming de rigeur equipment for documenting this beautiful life.

High-fashion jewelry and cloth-ing incorporating nanotechnology devices are close behind.

Portable technology has always had its place in the higher eche-lons of hipness. Transistor radios were ubiquitous in the mid 1970s. The brightly-colored plastic and chrome boxes were personal and kept listeners in touch with every-thing from the Top 40 to baseball games.

At the dawn of the 1980s, the Walkman took us one step closer to the concept of personalized playlists and two steps away from the shared experience of public airwaves. Cassette technology wasn’t perfect, but two albums worth of music would easily fit on a 90-minute TDK.

In the later part of that decade, we entered the early stages of the digital revolution. CDs replaced cassettes and records. The promise of better sound and smaller tech-nology was beginning to pay off.

But it wasn’t until Palo Alto’s Steve Jobs and his maverick com-puter company, Apple, released the first-generation iPod in October of 2001 that things really heated up. While the company didn’t invent the idea of storing and playing back mp3 files on a portable hard drive, the integrated package of design, ease-of-use features and capacity in that first iPod changed how people listen to music.

For the first time, music was tiny.

Previous music-delivery devices could never be smaller than the music media itself. A Walkman could never be smaller than the size of a cassette tape; a portable CD player had to accommodate a compact disc. Several intermediate technologies rushed in to enter the space race, notably minidisc play-ers and digital audio tape (DAT) players.

But nobody stole the market like the iPod, which has captured about 75 percent of the portable, digital music player market.

It was a concept not lost on Jobs and company. When the first iPod debuted, billboards sported an im-age of a 72-minute CD towering over a 1,000-song iPod.

But the billboards quickly shifted to be less about the tech-nology and more about the style. Last week, Apple announced a new line of iPods at three price ranges, making three different fashion statements. The new Nano resembles a smaller, sleeker iPod

Mini, (discontinued in 2005) with colored, rounded anodized alumi-num exterior replacing the easily-scratched black-and-white Nanos of yesterday.

The new Shuffle, which resem-bles a brushed-aluminum match-book, is designed to be worn: a clip is even designed into the body of the product.

And then there’s the iconic, white, click-wheeled wonder: the new fifth-generation iPod, boast-ing a brighter screen, new games and more capacity.

So why the iPod? Why not the Dell DJ or the ZEN by Creative Technology?

It turns out, design is more than skin deep. The iPod is the physical counterpart to iTunes, a free music organizing and jukebox program for Mac and PC. The integration of the software and hardware is what makes the iPod so elegant, and so stylish.

Sure it’s beautiful, but it actually works.

Or maybe it was just the signa-ture white earbuds.

Cameras, finally freed from the need to house a film canister, are shrinking to fit the digital age. Lenses, shutters, CCD sensors and batteries are crammed ever more tightly and elegantly into tiny chrome enclosures that fit neatly in a shirt pocket, a high-tech equiva-lent of a pack of cigarettes.

The team of Panasonic (elec-tronics) and Leica (lenses) have produced Lumix — both cameras and images are beautiful to behold.

Canon’s IXUS series, Casio’s Ex-islim and Sony’s Cybershot lines are also offering classy combos of style and substance.

There is a counter-trend: the overloaded cell phone.

Nowhere has the form vs. func-tion debate been more contentious than it has in the cell phone indus-try. As manufacturers increasingly add music players and megapixel cameras to the long laundry list of cell-phone features, these tiny, sleek fashion accessories suddenly become unwieldy monsters.

It’s a near impossible design problem for a package smaller than a computer mouse.

In response, LG Electronics recently introduced Chocolate, a phone that combines iPod-like touch pad navigation with a slide-out keypad for dialing. It doesn’t bring any new features to the ta-ble, but it’s at least grappling with design as a solution to bringing all that functionality to the sur-face without burying it in layers of submenus.

And it looks great, too.So did last year’s thinline Razr

from Motorola. This year, they’ve upped the ante, introducing a gold Dolce & Gabbana edition with a host of after-market accessories: the latest being matching Blue-tooth eyewear option consisting of gold Oakley sunglasses with a wireless earpiece attractively at-tached to one temple.

Now, this side of a surgical im-plant, that’s convergence. ■

M oms have issues with fash-ion.

A woman spends decades figuring out a fashion identity, get-ting to know her body and under-standing what styles work and what styles don’t.

And then she becomes a mother. Her whole fashion personality gets smashed to pieces. Her familiar wardrobe goes into the back of the closet and front and center comes maternity wear.

And maternity fashion? Let’s just say it’s an oxymoron.

After childbirth either nothing she owns fits (shoe sizes grow, pre-viously flat bellies are saggy, so-called perfect figures are no longer anywhere near perfect) or it’s com-pletely impractical (nursing, baby spit). So she spends a few years — or more — in baggy T-shirts

that are easy to nurse in and wash. Sometimes she wishes she had a different look, but she’s not sure what that look should be.

That’s why, when earlier this month the Silicon Valley Moms Blog invited our member bloggers and other local moms to meet with a personal shopper at Nordstrom, moms filled the joint.

The Nordie’s shopper promised to tell us how to dress stylishly in clothes we could wear while chas-ing kids, sitting on the floor or hauling groceries — and which we could throw in the washer with ev-erything else.

That is, how to make our dreams come true.

Sure, some of us said we didn’t expect to get more out of the eve-ning than a free cookie and a few laughs. But deep down we all hoped

for some magical answer that would give us a practical yet up-to-the-minute fashion identity.

After a 90-minute presentation, most of us fled. We had kids to bathe, laundry to fold. We didn’t get a chance to talk amongst ourselves. But we had a lot to say when we met later that week at our Silicon Val-ley Moms blog site (svmoms.com), a six-month-old Palo Alto-based blog. (The whole conversation is at: http://svmomblog.typepad.com/sil-icon_valley_moms_blog/sv_fash-ion/index.html.)

We talked about what we want from the fashion industry. Here are the basics:

■ Shoes that look good but allow high-speed kid chases

■ Tops that are fitted but not clingy and don’t have cleavage-re-vealing necklines.

■ Pants that stretch so moms can sit on the floor without hosting a peep show.

■ Clothes that hide post-pregnan-cy bulges.

■ Fabrics that are machine-wash-able and last and last.

■ Sweaters that don’t pill from holding a child constantly and don’t stretch out from tugs from little hands.

■ Style that doesn’t scream “Fash-ionista!” at the park but doesn’t shout “Dumpy mom!” at a nice res-taurant.

And we talked about what we loved and hated about this season’s fashions.

Skinny jeans came in for a lot of abuse. Skinny jeans, meaning stretchy jeans that are form fitting from the waist to the ankle, are a fashion staple right now. These jeans are so tight that it’s sometimes hard to get a foot into the leg Or, as one blogger put it, “so tight that my dad used to say he could tell what year the quarter was in my back pocket.”

Here’s what moms had to say about skinny jeans:

“I mean really. Does any normal

woman ever, ever look at her back-side and think, “Wow, what I really need is SMALLER jeans?” I think not,” commented Christina.

“They make my legs look like drumsticks,” commented a mother who goes by the screen name, “Hey Mom.”

“Unless you’re a size 0, you NEV-ER EV-AH wear these. And if you are a size 0 and had kids, don’t wear them to avoid us ‘larger’ mommies beating you up at the park,” warned Robyn.

“Skinny Jeans? If you ever had to get horizontal on the bed, suck in your stomach, and grab the zipper pull with pliers so you could shim-my into your Calvin Klein’s or Glo-ria Vanderbilt’s, consider this your hall pass,” blogged ElleBelle.

“Oh please. Some trends were never meant to return. The skinny jeans must die,” wrote Courtney.

Except for skinny jeans, moms said they love jeans in general They’re a wardrobe staple for which moms will pay big bucks; $200 is worth it, they say, if the jeans are comfortable and make their butts look good.

“All moms need non-mommy-looking jeans; this is worth your investment dollars,” blogged Jill.

Leggings are another current fashion trend moms love to dis. “They may be warm, comfortable, etc., but they really aren’t healthy,” blogged Sarah. “Leggings just invite yeast infections.

“No self-respecting Silicon Val-ley Mom should be seen wearing this,” blogged Pamela, referring to a miniskirt and leggings. “We don’t care how skinny you are, you are a mother and you no longer have the right to wear leggings.”

Then came ruching. The moms attending fashion night weren’t sure if ruching is a broad trend or just something for moms with belly is-sues. But we saw a lot of ruching, that is, tight shirts of sheer fabric gathered along the side seams so bunches of fabric cover the front — and, theoretically, hide bunches of post-baby skin underneath.

Good concept, but after about the tenth ruched shirt we were retching from ruching — something about all those fluffs of fabric was a little too much.

“There’s got to be a better way to disguise my less than perfect mid-section,” wrote Pamela.

As for shoes, ballet flats are back, which moms either love or hate. Jimmy Choo stiletto boots are also in style, and the Nordie’s shopper promised that, at $850, they’re so well designed they feel like walk-ing in flats. (Given that they’re the price of a major home appliance, we figured they better be.)

“I am thrilled that my flat shoes are finally in style,” wrote Pamela.

“What’s up with all of these flat shoes? Practical, yes, but designers have been ignoring the straight male perspective here. I can picture it now: ‘Honey, why don’t you put on that black lace teddy and your ballet flats and come into the bedroom?’” blogged Sarah.

“Jimmy Choo boots would look great on me, and unlike Pamela, I can walk in heels! Yippee! Almost choked on my bottled water when I heard the price ... but will get them

anyway,” blogged Jill.“I love boots,” wrote Hey Mom.

“But what I really need are shoes that can be applied and removed while standing, preferably without putting down the Toddler. I’ll stick to slide-in sandals until the weath-er gets so cold that my toes turn blue.”

The biggest news flash of the evening — the 1980s are back. Our Nordie’s personal shopper brought out outfit after outfit that sent us back there — when some of us were stylish young professionals or still in college, and none of us were moms.

If you’re trying to picture 1980’s fashion: think Flashdance, Ma-donna, Annie Hall. Think layered shirts, denim skirts and legwarm-ers. Whether we loved 1980s fash-ion (that would be me, I’m mentally stuck in the 80s; I never threw out my legwarmers, I’m sure they’re in a box in the attic somewhere) or hated it, the trip back in time got us all thinking about getting dressed to go out instead of getting dressed to clean up Playdough.

“I was cool in the ‘80s,” blogged Pamela. “My Madonna clothes would be quite chic today, right on down to the little black ankle boots. Those were the days. However, you will not see me sporting ankle boots this year, I would look like some crazed middle-aged elf!”

“The ‘80s were a good decade for me fashion-wise,” blogged Katie. “The short skirts showed off my long legs, and the shoulder pads camouflaged my cleavage chal-lenges. Maybe I’ll jump on (this) fashion train.”

Another news flash: black is the new black. Big relief, given that last year, brown was the new black, and no one knew what to wear with it. Some concern, though: What do you do with the brown left over from the brown-is-black year?

“I just hope it’s the same old black that’s already in my closet and not some funky, expensive black,” com-mented Hey Mom.

Big bags are in style. Really big bags. Shoulderbags that look, well, like diaper bags. This trend is not going to be a problem for Silicon Valley moms; for once, mom-style is ahead of the curve.

Of course, moms can’t talk about fashion without talking about their “issues” about fashion.

“Not only do I not care about fash-ion, I can’t care because I don’t have time to shop anymore. Even if I did have the time to care about fashion, I haven’t been able to lose the (final) baby weight. I’ve been stuck in fash-ion limbo.” blogged Elspeth. And, sadly, “Even if we remotely dress up someone comes up and rubs their sand-and-water-covered hands all over us.”

“It is hard to care about fashion if you are convinced you should live in Hawaii, and really want to wear only a tank top and shorts,” blogged Stephanie.

“I don’t like being told what to wear,” blogged Pamela. “I am happy wearing my black and grey, my un-flattering cropped wide leg pants. I do not care if leather is in, I am not wearing a leather jacket over a sequined tank unless I have a guest role in the Sopranos.”

“What’s the point of fashion?” blogged Valerie. “Five days out of seven you are a carpooling blur. ... Virtually no one sees you, and, if they did, it’s because they are home sick vomiting on you.” Valerie’s so-lution is to stay in workout clothes all day, “in part to create the illusion that you have hopes of getting to the gym, but also to minimize the time it takes to escape to the gym, should an opportunity arise.”

After the Nordstrom event, and our on-line chat, a few moms ac-tually did a little wardrobe updat-ing. One mom had her own mother tighten up the ankles on a pair of jeans. And she bought a long T-

shirt, which she now knows she should wear with a wide belt. An-other bought a bubble skirt — and her husband thought the hem was stuck on something.

Four more went for complete out-fits — new dark-washed (but not skinny) jeans, longish T-shirts, and short structured jackets. And I dove into the dark recesses of my closet and brought forth a few outfits I’d tucked away at the end of the ‘80s.

But most moms that went to our evening at Nordies were content just to know what’s in style, for the mo-ment, anyway.

Blogged Pamela: “I love to see the trends and what I am supposed

to be wearing. Then I go home and put on and hug all my unflattering, too large, mostly black wardrobe. But you had better believe that I will be in the front row at the next trend show.
