Apparently American fashion news is a bit behind the times. Gee, cute Japanese things popular throughout the world? You don't say.
Although I wouldn't really equate cute with cool though. Cute is just... cute. And not for everything. I wouldn't like my gadgets to be cute.
The quote they had from Yuri Ebihara was a little freaky though:
"If someone doesn't find me cute, I want to know why because then I'll work on it to get better at being cute."
I like things that are just inherently cute. You shouldn't have to work to be cute.

Cute is good!
BTW, You couldn't go anywhere in Japan this spring without seeing Ebi-chan's face on a TV screen or plastered on some wall. Even McDonald's hired her to promote their... ebi (shrimp) burger. [I wonder if a pun was intended?]
I'd thought of her as more the sexy than cute/moe type. But, first seeing her as Hirosue Ryoko's rival in a J-drama might've influenced me.
