“This is really the first time fashion and technology collide,” said Isabelle Olson, designer for Google Glass.
If you have an extra $1,800 lying around, then you can snag a pair for women at Net-A-Porter. The men’s frames are available for a slightly cheaper price at $1,650 from MrPorter.com featuring bold, thin, or half-and-half frames. The DVF glasses retail for $300 more than the regular price of Google Glass.
Google Glass and von Furstenberg first revealed their collaboration two years ago on the runway during New York Fashion Week. Since then the two have been tweaking the design in an effort to encourage men and women to view the technology as a must have fashion accessory.
The technology giant plans to expand Google Glass beyond its current uses, online searches and photo-taking. More collaborations are slated to be announced, of course, if the DVF collaboration does well.
