I'm always amazed with the... what is even a good word for the tone of this article? "Rich people scratching each other's backs" and "an iphone you can wear on your face."
Dismissive? Contemptuous? Irritated? Something.
Anyways, its always weird to see tech covered by non-tech outlets. It seems like the result is often worded like this.
- mtrimpe 14y agoI would say that this is the fashion industry's equivalent of Engadget's old tone: snarky, playful and opinionated. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how mild the article was, which I would say is actually a pretty good sign for Google Glass.
- dmlorenzetti 14y agoSpeaking of wording, the article also states "The collection itself... walked beneath hundreds of bird-shaped mirrors." Apparently the problem with Google Glasses is that they have to play second fiddle to DVF's new line of autonomous robo-clothing.
- KaoruAoiShiho 14y agoSnark. 90% of all NY news blogs are written in this tone.
- undantag 14y agoThis just reads like any contemporary "fashion" writing to me. You see it in those magazines with a model on the cover and stories about if he's really that into you inside. I think you summed it up pretty well, but I don't think it's got very much to do with the subject matter.
