    PRWeb – Wed, Feb 8, 2012

    Hipstamatic and Shih Give 9 Designers Early Access to Fashion-Inspired Lens, Resulting in Curated Gallery Showcase

    San Francisco, California (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

    Hipstamatic today announced it has partnered with fashion icon and photographer, Chiun-Kai Shih, to create the Made in America FreePak, a limited edition lens and case, just in time for New York Fashion Week. Inspired by this season’s aesthetic, the Made in America FreePak lets users effortlessly snap pictures with a reinvented look of classic beauty.

    Made in America FreePak Details; New Films Added on February 17th


    From February 8th-16th, users can download this fashion-inspired must-have lens and case for free. Beginning on February 17th, Hipstamatic will add two films, and the Made in America HipstaPak (lens, case, and two films) will go on sale for $0.99. Full details include:

    Americana Lens: Oh say, can you see, by this lens' soft blurry light.

    Old Glory Camera Case: Pledge your allegiance to the United States of Awesome with Red White and Beauty.

    Blanko Freedom 13 Film: From the lack of border, to the triple stripe corner, this film was made for you and me (Available as part of HipstaPak on 2/17/12)

    US1776 Film: This black and white classic is the biggest thing since John Hancock's signature. (Available as part of HipstaPak on 2/17/12)

    “A melting pot of people and ideas, America is a place where people have the freedom to create. We hope the Americana lens encourages Hipstamatic users to capture their own journeys, redefining what it means to live in America” said Lucas Buick, founder of Hipstamatic. “This year, we’re urging people to put their own spin on ‘Americana,’ and inspire others through visual storytelling.”

    Curated Fashion Showcase, New York City


    To celebrate the collaboration, Hipstamatic and Shih have given nine designers early access to the Americana lens to capture their journeys through New York Fashion Week, culminating in a curated fashion showcase on February 16, 2012, at a gallery in New York City.

    “America is made up of millions of voices, visions, and ideas,” said Shih. “I wanted to create a lens with Hipstamatic and a showcase for the raw talent that survives and thrives as part of the American dream.”

    The following designers will each have several Hipstamatic prints shot with the Americana lens on display:

    ABOUT HIPSTAMATIC

Additional lenses, film, and flash options can be added on within the app for $0.99.
