NEW ARRIVALS: Gucci Eyeweb Collection



Gucci has just launched Gucci Eyeweb, a new collection of sunglasses designed by creative director Frida Giannini with the digital generation in mind.

This is a youth orientated collection both in design & price and currently features a male & female model, differentiated with a single G for the guys and a double GG for the girls, and both feature Gucci's signature red and green stripes.

The youth focus is continued with the complementary social networking site http://www.guccieyeweb.com/ where visitors can “reflect and connect” their own photographs and images using the silhouettes of the new Gucci Eyeweb collection as their palette
