In celebration of the Beijing Olympics,, Gucci has launched a full line of red luxury goods. In total, Gucci has produced 8 accessories, each inspired by competitive sports. The entire line plays a numbers game, since the Olympics will be held on 8-8-1008.
The Creative Director Frida Giannini noted, “Not only does red evoke ‘Happiness’ and ‘Celebration’ - two emotions that couldn’t be more appropriate to describe the excitement in the world of sports - but it also happens to be a very fashionable color for 2008! I also designed just 8 products for this collection, which mirror the lucky number 8 in Chinese culture”.
The rear face commemorates the year 2008 with a chic red and green logo. All functions are easily executed using lateral push buttons embedded in the smooth circular frame of the 44mm case. Its high-tech capabilities even allow the wearer to select a dedicated Beijing time zone code on the display.
The "8-8-2008 Limited Edition" collection also includes a unique bicycle, with bold red double GG leather details and collectable items such as a luxurious Mah Jong set covered in red "La Pelle Guccissima" and, to pay homage to China, a panda in soft leather. Though intended for leisure, the products bear the hallmarks of Gucci's impeccable quality.
