Gucci Sunglasses â The History
Gucci was founded in 1906 by Guccio Gucci who was the son of a craftsman. Guccio’s primary skill in design was his ability to create leather goods and thus started his career by selling leather bags to horsemen in the 1920âs. In 1938 Gucci opened his first retail shop on the Via Condotti in Rome.
During the 1950âs the brand had created some of its most iconic products that are still popular and very much sought after today including luggage, handbags and ties and enabled the label to open stores in a range of global fashion capitals including Paris, Beverly Hills, London, Palm Beach, and Tokyo. The 1960âs saw the brand becoming popular with the celebrities with Hollywood stars as Grace Kelly, Peter Sellers and Audrey Hepburn, favouring the brand and associating it with chic and sophisticated. Jackie Kennedy was also snapped sporting the Gucci shoulder bag, which subsequently became known as the famous âJackie Oâ.
Gucci Sunglasses – Frida Giannini
In the 1990âs, Tom Ford became the Creative Director of Gucci and was responsible for the introduction of further product lines including a wider array of leather goods, fashions, perfumes, cosmetics, shoes, watches, jewellery, silk scarves and sunglasses. Frida Giannini was appointed as the Creative Director of Leather Goods and she oversaw the design of the range of Gucci sunglasses in addition to many other accessories by the brand. When Ford left in 2005, Giannini took over as Creative Director.
Gucci Sunglasses â The Styles
Gucci sunglasses are the ultimate in luxury and glamour and the brand is highly associated with only the most sophisticated and fashion aware individuals. The style remains classic yet constantly on trend and the collection of Gucci sunglasses includes a great selection of oversized, wraparound styles, aviators, and shields or visor styles, all complete with the famous Gucci logo.
There are some stunning new styles for 2010 which include a selection of oversized frames that take retro inspiration with their more square shaped and defined lenses and flat top frame section. This is a sunglass style which has become very fashionable over the past season and is a key trend for this season. In an array of colours including white, brown, black and tortoiseshell there is something to compliment every skin tone and style preference. Of course, the classic oversized sunglasses as worn by Kylie Minogue, Lucy Liu and Gwyneth Paltrow are a firm favourite and again experiment with vibrant and beautiful colours such as blue, turquoise and violet â perfect for stepping into spring! The new aviator styles are also delicately beautiful and a little more subtle than the classic oversized frames. Fine detailing is also popular within the collection, particularly positioned on the arm hinge whereby the Gucci logo is often presented in either the double GG style or as the crest logo. The logo is more overs
tated in some of the more typically glamorous style Gucci sunglasses.
