Imagine Karl Lagerfeld riding around the showroom verbally abusing his underlings in one of these:

"The Vivienne Tam-designed Mini 1000 was a cute foray of high fashion into the uber-geeky tech world, but not necessarily completely out of left field. Well, this one is. The word that Chanel has designed a Segway comes as a horrifying surprise to all of us. There's not too much information floating around about this one yet, so we have no idea how many they're making or what they're going to cost (the Ferrari model runs about $12,000), but we know they won't be cheap.

Wouldn't riding one of these outside in public be an open invitation for someone to club you on the head?

Maybe they would sell more of them if they offered a model with rabbits in place of the double C logo...

I wouldn't have thought you could make something that made the traveller look worse than the normal segway, but apparently I had not counted on the speed of progress. That thing is ridiculous.

I do however like the idea of Karl Lagerfeld riding one, aides sprinting to keep up, maybe with a black cape billowing behind him.

the failure of this is so spectacular it appears to be a success, some stock in segway would be a good pick before a photo of KL on this thing is seen, once that happens all the penguins will line up.
