But it is also classic. It is a '60s-ish shift feel. So we are trying to have some fun with hair and makeup as well. For makeup, I want to try something new for the first time in my life – strong eyes. I don't usually do liner but she (her Korean makeup artist) has guaranteed me that my eyes will look big. This is my first time appearing for Gucci, it is my first time attending a fashion show, it will be spectacular, I can just feel it... my hair has been the longest it has ever been, and I have always wanted to do a long ponytail and with this dress and the structure, it all just balances out very well."

Gucci reincarnation: 7-year-old prodigy dressmaker claims to be renowned fashion designer in past life

<p>It’s an upside world for luxury brand Gucci as they launch a new glamorous head-turner in their glassware range. They call it the “inverted cat eye sunglasses”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In what has caught the fancy of many who follow Gucci’s updates on social media, the price of the sunglasses will also give you a mini jolt as it costs&nbsp;$755 (Rs 55, 672).</p>

<p>Calling the sunglasses “an unconventional take on the ’50s and ’60s inspired cat eye frames”, the Italian brand has received many comments on its addition.</p>

<p>The product description on the website read, “An unconventional take on the ’50s and ’60s inspired cat eye frames, these sunglasses are presented with an inverted design that created an ‘upside down’ effect.&nbsp;<br />
The frames and temples are created using multiple layers of black and white acetate. Enameled floral details and a petite ‘Gucci’ logo further enrich the design.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many asked Gucci “why are we doing this” while others simply mocked the label for the inverted glasses.&nbsp;</p>

It’s an upside world for luxury brand Gucci as they launch a new glamorous head-turner in their glassware range. They call it the “inverted cat eye sunglasses”. In what has caught the fancy of many who follow Gucci’s updates on social media, the price of the sunglasses will also give you a mini jolt as it costs $755 (Rs 55, 672).

It’s an upside world for luxury brand Gucci as they launch a new glamorous head-turner in their glassware range. They call it the “inverted cat eye sunglasses”. In what has caught the fancy of many who follow Gucci’s updates on social media, the price of the sunglasses will also give you a mini jolt as it costs $755 (Rs 55, 672). Calling the sunglasses “an unconventional take on the ’50s and ’60s inspired cat eye frames”, the Italian brand has received many comments on its addition. The product description on the website read, “An unconventional take on the ’50s and ’60s inspired cat eye frames, these sunglasses are presented with an inverted design that created an ‘upside down’ effect. The frames and temples are created using multiple layers of black and white acetate. Enameled floral details and a petite ‘Gucci’ logo further enrich the design.” Many asked Gucci “why are we doing this” while others simply mocked the label for the inverted glasses.

Luxury label Gucci trolled for 'inverted sunglasses' as netizens find it amusing

<p>Aldo Gucci's grand daughter,&nbsp;Alexandra Zarini, has accused her stepfather of sexually assaulting her over a period of 16 years.</p>

<p>The heiress of the global fashion world filed a case in&nbsp;the California superior court in Los Angeles. She has accused her former stepfather&nbsp;Joseph Ruffalo of sexually abusing her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She has also filed a case against Patricia Gucci, her mother, and Bruna Palombo, her grandmother, on the charges of complicity and a cover-up.</p>

<p>In the lawsuit, she alleged the producer of sexually abusing her from the age of six to 22. She explained that Ruffalo used to get&nbsp;into bed naked with her, and penetrate her with his hands. She also accused him of rubbing his&nbsp;own genitals against her.</p>

<p>Hinting towards Ruffalo's alcohol problem, she said she knew she&nbsp;was about to be subjected to abuse whenever she heard ice and alcohol being poured into Ruffalo's. She also accused him of encouraging her to use&nbsp;cocaine and crystal meth.</p>

<p>She said her mother and grandmother&nbsp;“tried to avoid, at all costs, what they perceived would be a scandal that could tarnish the Gucci name and potentially cost them millions.”</p>

<p>Patricia has also been accused of hitting Zarini when she was a child.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If you think this doesn’t happen here in Beverly Hills, then you should know that my perpetrator still lives in California, spends time at the Bel-Air country club and volunteers in your children’s hospitals,” Zarini said in a video released by her lawyers.</p>

<p>“This is not something that only happens to other families, other neighborhoods or other countries. It is everywhere.”</p>

<p>Zarini has also launched her own&nbsp;anti-child abuse non-profit, the Alexandra Gucci Children’s Foundation.</p>

<p>“What he did to her is inexcusable and I was devastated when she disclosed everything to me at our family doctor’s office in London in September 2007. I immediately initiated divorce proceedings against Mr Ruffalo and set about healing my family through counseling,” Patricia&nbsp;Gucci said in a statament.</p>

<p>With growing insensitivity and an inappropriate&nbsp;showcase of the minority culture in Americas and UK, Twitter users slammed Gucci for launching it&#39;s Autumn/Winter 2018 collection during Milan Fashion Week with models sporting Sikh turbans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the models walked down the runway wearing what looked like traditional Sikh turbans as they flashed latest Gucci collection, social media users felt it was callous on part of the brand to not understand the history behind wearing the turban with some even finding a problem at the way it was wrapped on the head.</p>
