The fashion forward, pilot-shaped plastic aviator in shiny black
features an Eighties retro sensibility that was originally released
earlier this year as part of the Gucci Eyeweb sunglass collection, a
youth-oriented offering of styles designed by Creative Director Frida
Giannini.
Produced under license by Safilo Group, the unisex 3-D glasses (model 3DV 001 GUC) present the iconic Gucci “web” green and red striping detail along the temples and along the center brow bar of the frame. The model is also personalized with the Gucci 3D logo printed near the endpiece of each temple and on the right lens.
Featuring optically correct 6-base curved lenses with circular polarized technology, the aviator-shaped glasses will provide the wearer with a premium viewing experience for the most popular and common 3-D format found in cinemas.
The Gucci 3-D lenses will contain a high tech multi-layered mirrored
coating which allows the wearer to view themselves in a mirror without
distortion. The mirrored coating not only provides a premium look as
well as offers superior viewing and contrast enhancement, but also
allows over 98 percent of visible light through, therefore not affecting
viewing in a cinema environment. An anti-reflective coating has been
applied to the back of the lens for additional overall image quality by
reducing scattered light, glare and blue light. The glasses are intended
for movie theater use only and should not be used for any other
purpose.
The new 3-D glasses, with an MSRP of US $225, will be
exclusively available in the United States from December at Gucci
boutiques. The glasses will come in special Gucci Eyeweb black packaging
personalized with the House's iconic green-red-green web and the Gucci
3D logo.
