Sony Ericsson’s LiveView was one of 2010’s more bizarre mobile concepts. But never ones to be put off by something being a bit left-of-centre, Sony Ericsson have revealed plans to extend its wearable tech brand, firing the starting gun on a contest that will see fashion students try and come up with the next big thing in mobile accessories.

The competition, dubbed Sony Ericsson Extras, will see students from the London College of Fashion’s Active Sportswear and Fashion Design and Development courses fight it out to create new ways of wearing SE’s well-received LiveView add-on.

The best designs will be revealed on Facebook, with fans choosing a winner, who will then present the idea to Sony Ericsson’s board in Sweden. You can follow the contest’s progress on Twitter @LiveViewLCF.
