The rounded acetate frames have a 1970s look that are enhanced by the signature script accentuated by Swarovski crystals on the left temple: this differentiating touch stands out against the Havana grey, gold, green and horn. In the new optical collection, the house more added iconic elements to the overall design.

GUCCI EYEWEAR – MAN – 2007 The new GUCCI UOMO optical and sunglass collection, dedicated to a multifaceted man, is presented in classic lines with cutting-edge design that is the hallmark of the GUCCI brand.

Refined lines fused with modern sensibility create sunglasses with oversized wrap-around frames and lenses set in a contrasting slim metal structure, a striking combination of materials and proportions. The large temples are accentuated by the classic “T-bar,” with details etched onto the metal, and highlighted against black, white and cocoa hues. The house’s classic sensibility is evidenced in the understated aviators produced in timeless shades of gold, red gold, palladium and ruthenium.

The teardrop lenses are held in place by thin, steel wire for a virtually rimless effect, while the GUCCI logo etched onto the slender temples and the house’s signature script on the right lens, confer a sporty appeal. The contrasting and unusual combination of metal and acetate, with the perforated rubber logo, can be enhanced with Swarovski crystals on the “limited edition” version, available exclusively for women. Perfectly balancing the modernity of titanium frames and the timelessness of nylon-supported lenses creates a weightless effect and is identifiable by the slim metal logo.

The linear design is completed with the exclusive GUCCI- patented flexible flip-up temples. Several acetate models with a vintage 1950s feel are identified by the unique GUCCI logo, hooked to the temple shims, and stand out against contrasting colours: rust-green, purple-black, green- Havana brown, crystal-smoke, dark Havana brown.
