Emerging fashion label TOMBOGO has debuted its first non-fashion product, the NostalgiaCam -- a 1080p handheld camcorder that invites users to capture nostalgic moments.
Boasting a distinctly Y2K aesthetic, the NostalgiaCam comes equipped with a wide range of functions, including night vision, face detection, a 16x zoom lens, LED flash, and a 3" swivel display monitor. In addition, the camcorder comes packaged in a retro-inspired holographic case that also contains a battery, charger, playback remote, RCA cables, and a user manual.
To promote its first electronics product, TOMBOGO put together a playful lookbook with a cast of diverse creatives who were asked questions regarding how nostalgia guides their own work. The lookbook was shot by Ian Sterns, while the interviews were conducted by TOMBOGO founder Tommy Bogo.
