According to Mashable, the bands of each Google Glass headset were modified to reflect the patterns and colours of individual pieces in the collection. At least some of the models had the devices turned on.

Members of the DVF support crew were also wearing the devices and recording from them. The images and footage shot during the show are set to be compiled into a short film.

The film, called “DVF through Glass” will appear on DVF’s Google+ page on Thursday.
