Gucci gives back + my fave shot from cruise '07 ad campaign

I have been meaning to post this but it totally slipped my mind the past weeks. *slaps head* You all know that I've always been a gucci girl right? Yup, this designer brand is my first love (and as they say, first love never dies, haha!). Well, its just that gucci has never disappointed me and I've always identified with the brand.

Well, this holiday season is sure to be a good one for us gucci lovers as our fashion house has decided to give back to charity. The following news were out in Fashion Wire Daily since Oct. 20, 2006:

From November 21st to December 31st, Gucci will donate 20 percent of the sales from a luxurious collection of items designed by Gucci’s Creative Director, Frida Giannini. The proceeds will specifically benefit education and health services to children in Mozambique, where nearly three-quarters of a million children are directly affected by HIV/AIDS.

“The 2006 holiday campaign is part of the most extensive philanthropic program in Gucci’s history,” said Mark Lee, Gucci CEO and President, in an earlier statement. “We are committed to supporting important humanitarian efforts through UNICEF.”

Now here is a picture of some irresistable items from the said collection:

Gorgeous platinum guccissima, and its for a good cause too!


In addition, "helping to spread AIDS awareness and the Gucci and UNICEF partnership is actress Jennifer Connelly, who will act as honorary global representative of this year’s campaign. Connelly, who has spent considerable time in Mozambique and other affected regions in Africa, is just one of many famous faces that have stepped forth to help fight the global epidemic."

Wow, jennifer connelly is such a good choice for this campaign. I super adored her in labyrinth! I do understand that some of my readers may be too young to even have heard of labyrinth hehe! So I thought of posting this pic:

Back to the topic, items from Gucci’s 2006 Holiday collection for UNICEF will be available at 200 Gucci boutiques worldwide on November 21st (exactly a week from now). So rush over on that day if you've been looking for an excuse to buy pretty little things from gucci. Come on, you know you want to! hahaha.

On a lighter note, I am so loving this particular shot from the gucci cruise collecton '07 ad campaign:
