This week's top trends ranged from trippy unique baby photography to an updated concept of what the collaboration between Google Glass and Warby Parker might look like.
The baby photography was incredibly offbeat in that it didn't feature babies, but instead focused on photos of adults that had been manipulated to make the subject resemble young children. A bit eerie, but compelling nonetheless, it's no surprise that this series performed so well.
One of the most striking fashion trends to catch readers' eyes this week was a piece by Nadine Goepfert. Resembling a light pink piece of packing styrofoam, this highly unusual and large design showed off the incredibly offbeat style of the designer.
