The Diane von Furstenberg frames leave the Google Glass hardware unchanged and, not surprisingly, costs more at $1,620. The regular Google Glass frames retail for just $1,500. If Google Inc (NASDAQ GOOG) wants to expand Google Glass beyond the tech savvy group, the company will need to find ways to appeal to other groups. The partnership with DVF is obviously designed to appeal to the fashion conscious consumer.

Although this will be the first Google Glass partnership with a high-end designer, it isn’t be the first time the tech company has collaborated with a fashion brand. The company previously collaborated with Luxoticca to create Oakley and Ray-Ban frames for Google Glass.
