Match Your Swimsuit to Your Headphones

You wear matching shoes and a purse with your outfit. Why not matching headphones to go with that swimwear?

Velodyne Inc., an audio and technology company in the Silicon Valley, gave Woodbury University fashion students in their sophomore year a challenge to design headphone coverings, also known as skins, that would match the students' swimwear creations.

The winners receive a $200 cash prize, a free pair of vFree wireless headphones and the custom skin that matches their swimsuits. Also the winning students' designs may be considered for future commercial development.

Five winners have been selected, as well as runners-up, and their designs will be featured at the upcoming 50th anniversary student fashion show on May 8 being held at Club Nokia at L.A. Live. The winners are Brittany Diego, Elida Donat, Mai Shoua Lee, Victoria Mendoza and Mariam Sabha.

The inspiration and artwork that went into the swimsuits is amazing. Marta Hall, Velodyne's president and a skins designer, said the students "did an absolutely stellar job."
