GOO GLE GLASS I N AMERICAN VOGUE
The wearable space is exploding and Google Glass is the buzziest of them all.
Everyone from DVF to Elle Magazine to The Fancy is getting involved, but our
sign-of-the-times was when American Vogue dedicated an entire futuristic
(and some said, bizarre) spread to Glass. Our runner-up was the launch of the
first Glass shopping app, Glashion. Yes, really.

A MAZON’S D RONES
When Amazon announced that they were testing “octocopters” for 30minute delivery, it sent people into a tailspin. It’s intensely fascinating to
think about, but in some ways it’s the obvious next step in the quick-ship
race. Forget two-day shipping: depending on where we live, we can already
enjoy same day shipping from sites like EBay, Amazon, Shoptiques, Net-APorter and Rent The Runway. Why wait?
