Google has announced a new collection of frames and shades for Google Glass. Called the DVF | Made for Glass collection, they were created in a collaboration with American fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Five new fames and eight new shades will be available through the Google Glass website and Net-a-Porter starting June 23.

The new collection of frames and shades adds to Google's Titanium Collection, launched in January. That collection will also become available on June 23 through the Mr Porter online store.

The price for Google Glass with the new prescriptive lenses will be a little bit higher at $1,725, The Verge reports, while Glass with DVF-branded shades will cost $1,620.
