They don't need to convince nerds. They need to convince the general public that Glass is cool, fashionable, and not a reason to shun someone. If Glass is treated as weird and undesirable even the nerds will eventually fall victim to the peer pressure and stop wearing them.

Somehow I don't think Google really cares all that much about forcing it to become fashionable.

They need to if they want people to use it (and getting models at a fashion show to use it is pretty strong evidence they do want it to become fashionable).

I don't see why not. Pocket computers didn't really take off until the iPhone made them fashionable.
