GUCCI CELEBRATES NEW HAVANA EYEWEAR COLLECTION

In celebration of their new Havana Eyewear collection, Gucci presents a short film dedicated to the House’s new Havana sunglasses, directed by Gregory Harris and Christopher Simmonds. Shot in Malibu, California, the film recalls the opening scene of “The Swimmer” (1968) and features a glamorous atmosphere of a private pool party and a charming game of seduction between a beautiful woman and a fascinating young man, with their eyes subtly concealed by their Havana shades.

Gucci Havana eyewear feature a variety of striking spotted Havana colours on bold shapes, recalling an elegant Sixties feeling. Both the sunglasses and optical frames, in the distinctive yellow colour, as well as in blue, red and brown, merge a retro style with a contemporary and subtle Gucci twist. These models are distinguished by a hand-finished treatment giving the material a luxe touch.
