Gucci Goes Global

ca0724.JPG Gucci has long been a household name in the fashion industry. Recently surpassed by such powerhouses as Prada and Dior, Gucci is struggling to co-exist in the accessories market in a world where less is more. Gucci continues to stay true to the intricate and creative (some say gaudy) style that once made it famous. While many stars have turned to simpler looks, there are a few die hard Gucci fans who keep the general population yearning for the Gucci glamour that only rock stars and big shots seem to be able to achieve.

Mariah Carrey loves her Gucci sunglasses, and has rarely been photographed without them, recently. Gucci took a classic aviator shape and dazzled it up a bit, curving it for a woman’s face and adding a bit of Gucci flare on the temple bars. This look is especially fantastic on brunettes and darker skin, as the gold really brings out the richness of her tones.

Cam Gigandet, from Twilight, rocked the Gucci look with the GG 1889/S style, which is basically a rounded aviator without the inner nose-bridge that aviators have been criticized for.

Ashley Tisdale, another Gucci fan, has taken her style to a whole new level with Gucci glam aviators with glitz nearly pouring off the temple bars. Tisdale proves once and for all that if you want to go flashy, go Gucci.

Gucci, despite setbacks in the accessories market, was able to break into the male fashion industry with Gucci sunglasses that are not that dissimilar from glamorized Ray Bans. We expect good things from Gucci this season, though we know that they will never abandon the shiny glimmer and glamour that we have come to know as Gucci.
