>Well, she looks silly, we thought to ourselves. Can someone please look through that slideshow and explain to me how anyone could single out Google Glass as "silly" with a straight face? I mean, look at these earrings: http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/shows/2013/spring/new-york/rtw/diane-von-furstenberg/collection-full-length/12.o.jpg/a_4.5x.jpg http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/fashion/shows/2013/spring/new-yo... Look at them.

Is that the Assassin's Creed logo?

  That's exactly what I thought, too.

  Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. A bit on the large side...

The high-end fashion designer's job is to push the edge of clothing, to give clients something new and interesting. Honestly, I don't know that many women will buy that particular piece, but they looked pretty good with the outfit, and in general I thought her accessory choices were pretty good. The glasses, on the other hand, looked out of place. I understood exactly where the author was coming from -- due to the technology, the glasses still look a bit odd.

This is a community that upvoted a story about wearing the same outfit every day to the front page last week. I say we leave the fashion critiques to them and they leave the technology analogies ("they're an iPhone you can wear on your face") to us.

  I don't care about fashion one way or another. I understand that it is a kind of art that is not supposed to be appreciated in the sense of "real people actually will wear this specific outfit". A lot of it looks completely ridiculous, but I understand that there is artistic merit (which I have no grounding to appreciate, or any real interest in) to it outside of what it looks like if you imagine someone on the street wearing it. Which is why it seems to me like "that looks silly" isn't a valid thing to say at a fashion show in the first place.
