Google has now teamed with DVF, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg’s studio for its newest range of Google Glass designs. The all-new ‘DVF | Made for Glass collection’ will bring five new frames to the Glass, which will be up for sale via Google and online fashion retailer Net-a-Porter starting June 23 . According to TheVerge, a new frame designed by DVF along with Glass and prescriptive lenses will cost $1,725. On the other hand, Furstenberg’s sunglasses plus Glass are priced at $1,620.
In its official Google+ post, the company writes, “Today we’re announcing the DVF | Made for Glass collection, a collaboration that brings chic eyewear designs by iconic American fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg to the Glass Explorer Program. These new designs build on the style choices we gave Explorers when we launched the Titanium Collection in January.”
While the tech behind the Google Glass has been lauded by tech enthusiasts, the design hasn’t been widely accepted. Many believe that the existing design could make you look ‘silly’ in crowd. The new frames are aimed at solving this issue, as the design brings more stylish and regular glasses-like look.
After being available for a limited time in the US, Google later launched the device for everyone in the US. Google wants optometrists, sports lovers, online retailers, cooks and travellers to try out the Glass, and also looking forward to their feedback to improve the product. As of now the product is still in the beta stage, and a commercial launch is expected later this year.
