First Samsung, then Oakley, and now Gucci has come out with a set of custom $225 3D Glasses.
These obvious 2011 must-haves exhibit the same retro-80s flair that creative director Frida Giannini brought to her Gucci Eyeweb collection this past summer. The shiny plastic aviators are both stylish and sentimental — and best of all, owners will no longer have to share the same classless glasses as common moviegoers at the local cinema.
The announcement is full of PR buzz too, announcing features like ‘optically correct 6-base curved lenses’ and a ‘high-tech multi-layered mirrored coating’. They obviously know their audience, tho, mentioning that the special coating allows the wearer to view themselves in a mirror without distortion (typically, looking in a mirror while wearing polarized glasses causes odd effects in the eyes).
