Sergey Brin must have been in heaven on the day of these pics. As you can see above, his new Project Glass/Google Goggles were featured during on a runway walk during the DVF New York Fashion show. Mr. Brin himself also appeared on the catwalk with his creation during the show. The marketing cross-over is designed to show that Project Glass isn't just useful, it also looks pretty cool too. Here's the press release,

Today we’re thrilled to collaborate with the visionary and celebrated designer Diane von Furstenberg. For the past week, we’ve been using Glass to capture the DVF creative process from entirely new perspectives.
Soon you’ll get a glimpse into what it’s like to design, prepare and experience the DVF show at New York Fashion Week through Diane’s eyes and a few other views.
The short film ‘DVF through Glass’ will be released on Thursday, September 13 on the DVF Google+ page (google.com/+dvf) and Google’s YouTube channel (youtube.com/google). We will also post exclusive images from Glass to the DVF Google+ page live during the show. #DVFthroughGlass

There are some more pics of runway models with Google Goggles at the source link below. The glasses, models and their outfits look like something out of a Sci-Fi movie, like Logan's Run, yet not in an overt and cheesy way. They did a great job of showing how technology and fashion might be able to start merging a bit. Share your thoughts.
