"As promised, a new range of Google Glass frames and shades designed by Diane von Furstenberg\u00A0(DVF) launched in the US today.\r\n\r\nIf you head over to online fashion retailer Net-A-Porter, you can choose between five different frame combinations for $1,800. They\u2019re all the same shape, but come in five different colors \u2013 Shiny Elderberry, Shiny Lagoon, Matte Java, Matte Ice and Shiny Ink \u2013 for a splash of style and personality.\r\n\r\nWhile the asking price might feel a little steep, it should be noted that each purchase comes with two frames. Net-a-Porter is bundling each model with a free set of shades; these attach to (what appears to be) the original Google Glass\u00A0Explorer Edition\u00A0frames, rather than those designed by DVF.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nSo to summarise, you'll get the Google Glass module, a stylish frame designed by DVF, a set of custom shades for the original Explorer frame, a mono earbud and case. In short, this adds one frame design in five different colors, and two shade\u00A0variants\u00A0in four colors each to the existing Glass portfolio.\r\n\r\nThe new range is also available to purchase from the Google Glass store. The DVF-designed frames are being sold for $225 without the Glass module \u2013 making it easier for existing Glass Explorers to upgrade. Likewise, the two shade options are being sold for $120 each. All of the color variants are available at the time of writing and orders will ship within 5\u20137 days.\r\n\r\nIt's also worth noting that\u00A0three frames from the Titanium collection\u00A0\u2013\u00A0Thin, Bold and Split \u2013 are available for $1,650 on Mr Porter right now.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nShould you buy a set? Perhaps. These limited-edition frames might not be around for long, so it's a good chance to pick up a possibly rare piece of Google hardware. With the company's I/O conference taking place later this week though, there's a high chance we'll see and hear more about Glass \u00A0\u2013 so just bear in the mind that in a few days, you might feel some buyer's remorse.\r\n\r\nRead Next:\u00A0Livelens releases a Google Glass app for live-streaming video\u00A0/\u00A0Forget vacuum cleaners, Dyson prototyped a Google Glass-like AR headset"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
