Gucci is about to get its 3D on. The designer has announced 3D glasses for the fashion-conscious uber-nerd.
According to Luxist, Gucci's unisex 3D glasses will cost about $225. This isn't too much of a premium over current at-home 3D glasses, given the famous name. However, these aren't like at-home 3D glasses, since they are passive 3D glasses designed strictly for movie theater use.*
Like the freebies you get at the theater, these very '80s Aviator-style glasses will be compatible with what RealD is producing for theaters all over the country. So if you want to look cool, even in the darkened environs of a 3D movie theater, these glases are just what the style doctor ordered.
According to the press release, they feature "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."
If you have a Gucci fan on your holiday list, you can start searching for these in Gucci boutiques next month.
