Gucci Sunglasses
Fashion historians claim that the first sunglasses were worn by patricians in ancient Rome. As lenses they used thin plates of emeralds and other precious stones. Since then, this item has undergone many changes and continues to change. Each season, famous couturiers come up with all the new details for decoration.
Gucci models
- Gucci Flora with a butterfly. The most famous and most recognizable collection of the brand. These are aviator glasses with a square shape and without a frame. A small butterfly of white metal color seemed to have just fluttered from a flower and modestly sat down to take a breath before a big journey on the glass of glasses. This collection was created in 1966, but interest in it has not diminished to this day. Original Flora glasses come complete with a cover in white, decorated with the same pattern as the glasses themselves.
- Sunglasses - aviators in a metal or plastic frame. A distinctive feature of this type is the presence of a double bridge in the region of the bridge of the nose and lenses with the effect of "gradient" - color transition from dark above to lighter below. Such lenses can mute excessively bright sunlight falling from above. And all the other objects on earth remain natural. Points are presented in brown scale in combination with white and golden shades.
- Aviators in the same metal frame, but supplemented by a chain in a nautical style. Handles of points are decorated with acetate silk, so these models are recommended for warm climates. The main color of the collection is mocha coffee.
- With square rim. At a quick glance it seems that their appearance resembles classic aviators. The unchanging Gucci brand logo, as well as on all glasses, adorns the arms. However, on a closer look, you can see that the corners of the rim on this model are slightly bevelled. This softens some roughness of the forms.
Here, too, there are gradient colors: blue and black. Also, these glasses can be executed in red-brown, as well as blue - white marine themes.
- Oval shape. This model is characterized by the presence of oval lenses and frames made of acetate fabric. It is good to work with such material - it is malleable and allows you to give it any shape and any shade. Such frames are quite popular and have a relatively low cost. The disadvantages of such a material can be its low wear resistance. In places of contact with the face may remain greasy marks.
- With hearts. These points hit record popularity. They have a square shape in a frame of acetate material. The arms are decorated with cute heart shaped decors. Such frames are often chosen by young and romantic personages.
- In leather frame. The chip of this model is that the frame is covered with genuine thin leather. Square-shaped glasses with a bridge on the bridge of the nose, appear to the consumer in austere black and gray and light brown colors.
- Tortoiseshell-rimmed glasses. These glasses are characterized by the presence of coordinated clips on the bridge of the nose. The frame of this model is yellow, made of acetate.
- Points GG 3513 / S QJ9 / LI. The collection 2012 is made of innovative material - Optila. This material is hypoallergenic, lightweight, resistant to the effects of cosmetics and sweat. If such a frame has lost its shape, it is enough to heat it and it will recover. The butterfly rim has the color of a raven wing. The arms are decorated with a golden bead and an obligatory logo.
New collection
For the upcoming new season, Gucci designers offer two main directions. This is a variety of unusual forms of frames and a no less diverse palette of glasses.Designers decided to surprise the beautiful floor with special glasses with colored glasses to match the clothes. Now even the most capricious princesses will be able to decorate their look with glasses to match the color of the dress. This accessory will be the final touch to complete the image.
A kaleidoscope of colors and various modulations from dark to light adds raisins to simple shapes. A striking example is purple glasses that do not have frames from the fresh Gucci collection. They make not one woman's heart beat in ecstasy and grab the wallet of a strong half of humanity in order to please her lady of the heart. The new Gucci collection also presents simple colored sunglasses that seem created to revive everything around after a long lethargic sleep.
The collection of Gucci glasses can be observed in the Garden series. It is characterized by models with unusual shades of glass: the color of the first green, delicate violet, touching - yellow mimosa, tea rose and sky blue. It looks amazing, fresh, bright and unusually beautiful. A real riot of colors.
As a hello from the distant 70s of the last century, the coquettish teardrop-shaped and brutal square frames of various colors re-came into fashion. Like ice and flames, hard metal brittle plastic clashed in this strange battle for supremacy.
But do not think that Gucci completely departed from previous traditions. The original frames of the usual rectangular, square shapes, as well as "cat eyes" (well, wherever without them) or "butterfly wings" still have a place to be, and still adorn the catwalks of the fashion houses of Milan and Paris.
Designers are constantly looking for non-standard solutions and combine the lenses of the same shape (circle, square, trapezium) and the frame of a completely different shape. It looks bold, sometimes too extravagant, but quite patriarchal. All this allows you to combine them with ordinary everyday things.
In addition to finding new forms, fashion designers of the legendary Gucci fashion house advocate for the preservation of ecology. This prompted them to create a collection of glasses with rims of liquid wood with mineral glass.
How to recognize a fake
When buying a fashion accessory from a well-known brand, it is often very difficult to recognize, do we hold the original in our hands or the quality one, but a fake?
- Full set. The first and most common sign that a fake is in front of you is the absence of additional accessories. Real Gucci sunglasses are always sold complete with a wipe cloth. They must be packed in a box with a company logo. By the way, pay attention - the logo should be written correctly and without errors. Also in the kit should be a package with the words "Manufacturing Group", Certificate of Authenticity and warranty, which should contain the registration number.
- The presence of the logo. Look carefully at the emblem on the inside of the ear loops. It must have the GG logo. Try slightly rubbing it with something sharp. Drawing on genuine glasses should be resistant to all kinds of mechanical stress.
After the emblem, you can find the following information: the number of this model, consisting of four numbers, the letter S, which means that it is sun glasses, the color code (it can consist either of single numbers, or only of letters, or of a combination of and other) and model size.
- Quality mark. On the inner side of the bows must be inscribed "Made in Italy", and the abbreviation "CE", indicating that this product meets the quality requirements of the European Council.
- The inscription. Whenever possible, buy Gucci sunglasses only at specialty stores or at proven locations. In the online store the risk of acquiring a fake is very high. Very often on the sites of unscrupulous sellers in the description the word "authentic", translated to mean "authentic", is written in an abbreviated version: "auth".
- Too low a price should be suspicious. The most democratic model Gucci costs about $ 200. And even during sales it can not fall several times.
- Polarization of glasses. Genuine glasses must have polarizing lenses that are designed to protect the eyes from too much reflection of sunlight from various surfaces: snow, water, wet asphalt, a mirror, etc. You can check the polarization yourself. Try to look in glasses on the TV or computer screen from different sides. If the image changes color at different angles, then the lenses are polarized.
Gucci sunglasses are not only the beauty and sophistication of taste. They help to keep youth and visual acuity for a long time.
