We all use Google everyday but are you ready to wear Google everyday? Google recently debuted their designer clothing line on the internet giant's own online store. The four piece collection resulted from emerging designers who were asked to create one-of-a-kind articles of clothing, jewellery, or accessories inspired by Google as part of an annual fund-raising event by Vogue Magazine and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA).

The designers were challenged to come up with designs inspired by Google in any way: "[their] logo's colors, technology or [their] commitment to equal access to information."

In October 2009, Google announced "ten new artist themes, all from talented up-and-coming fashion designers you may not have already heard of" selected to design themes for iGoogle.

Michaela Prescott, Group Product Marketing Manager, explained the line via Google's official blog.

While we loved seeing fashion meet iGoogle, we wanted to see these pieces in person — and wear them! Today, we’re debuting three of our favorite designs from this challenge. These three featured designers have customized their original designs for a broader audience, and we’re making them available to the public to purchase for a limited time.

The four piece Google-inspired designer collection is comprised of men's and ladies' Peace “Vintage” Inspired T Shirt by Gary Graham, an "Old Fashioned "Magnifying Glass" inspired pendant by Waris, and an Oversize Knit Scarf in Google colors by Ohne Titel, priced at $85, $200, and $300 respectively.
