DvF Does it

She may be 67, but Diane von Furstenberg is the first to embrace new trends.

During our last meeting, she was literally on her mobile phone. “I’m not much of a caller, but the world that opens up through social media is just amazing.” The grand dame spoke to me before she tossed another selfie on Instagram.

Two years ago, Diane von Furstenberg already embraced the phenomenon of Google Glasses and wore a Google Glass in the lead-up to her show during New York Fashion Week. Literally from her point of view, we see what her day looked like. Incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30Pjl31cyDY (it starts a bit messy but after four seconds it becomes great).

In the meantime, the almighty gentlemen at Google have managed to create a version that is also prescription. Together with DvF, they are launching the DvF Google Glasses. Design by Diane combined with the ingenuity of Google and also prescription.

It costs $1725 (which is €1267). Admittedly, it’s quite a sum, but the possibilities are of course unprecedented. Google is even working on having the Google Glasses park your car for you. Isn’t that worth quite a bit?
