The Gucci eyeglasses collection is defined by its strong personality and style working with distinctive, exclusive details which guarantee its success.
One prominent theme is the "stirrup" motif, a hallmark Gucci symbol that has already stolen the limelight in the apparel and accessories collections. The "horse bit" motif is proposed on the temples of ultra-contoured mask models in bold colours.
Another recurring theme is the Gucci webbing, namely the characteristic triple strand ribbon pattern that appears in bright colours at the tenon of temples.
One of the star models is a precious limited edition number: the boxy frame in Optyl features temples entirely adorned with the Gucci texture pattern, illuminated by sparkling fuchsia or black diamond diamante.
The prescription glasses collection also features temples personalized by the webbed pattern with the intertwined GG logo in metal. Acetate glasses are embellished by lively, brilliant colours, in shades of green-red, blue-red, orchid-chalk and black-yellow, as well as attractive layered effects, with several different shades visible on glasses. The delicate colours of women's models stand in contrast to the classic, sober shades of men's glasses.
When you're as insanely-hot as 25-year-old Portuguese footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, it's only fitting that your likeness be immortalized in wax. That's just what Madame Tussauds London did, recently unveiling Ronaldo's waxwork as part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup festivities. But you better believe he's not just a pretty face. He puts his money where his mouth is as a major stud on Spain's soccer club, Real Madrid, and claims the title as the highest paid football player in the world. He's been romantically linked to Kim Kardarshian, but he also just announced last week on his Facebook and Twitter pages that he had become a father. His baby boy was born to an anonymous American mother and he has full custody. Go figure! He's sporty-chic in these Gucci shades which come in four frame colors. His baby's mama must be shouting: Gooooooal! --rpuccia
