When it comes to taking canonical dress codes, absolutely common, e turn them over with all the joy of creative subversion, Gucci it undoubtedly teaches significant lessons. In a certain sense, it could be considered, at a high level, the source of ingenious initiatives to which it is readily replied: “I could do it too!”. But, on time, no one manages to give birth to similar ideas. After all, the genius lies precisely in the approach to reality, and not so much to the tools you own, and this is the case of the latest trend launched by Alessandro Michele’s maison: a pair of glasses upside down.
15 ICONIC STAR SUNGLASSES
This is what, at first glance – or at least, if you imagine it backwards – looks like a classic pair of thick-rimmed Cat Eye glasses, rounded on the base and pointed towards the sides. A model particularly in vogue between the 50s and 60s, which over the decades have often returned to fashion: with the small and substantial difference, that Gucci now wants them to be worn upside down. Sold at a cost of 520 euros, the glasses are described on the site as an unconventional version of the famous cat glasses, whose temples have been created with multiple layers of black and white acetate.

The design is also enriched by delicate enameled florals, also in full retro style, and a tiny Gucci logo. The funniest part of such an extravagant fashion launch, as always, is network comments: “I liked wearing glasses upside down in fourth grade because I thought I saw better, Gucci owes me some money” tweeted an internet user, followed by another user with an inevitable dig at 2020 and how many “surprises” there reserves in the last month, even in fashion.
That soon, as has already happened in recent years regarding the trends launched by Alessandro Michele, also the Upside down glasses become a must-have? It wouldn’t be surprising, after all: from stars to fictional characters, there are several showbiz protagonists who are become iconic also thanks to a pair of glasses not considered to conform to the prevailing aesthetics. In the gallery above, 15 examples of style among the most famous ever.
