Gucci Sunglasses - the Ultimate Status Symbol
by Richard Hurley

Take a cursory look at the tabloids and you will notice that celebrity's love to wear Gucci sunglasses indoors and even at night. Perhaps when Corey Hart sang "I always wear my sunglasses at night" in his 1980's one hit wonder he was referring to Gucci sunglasses.

The House of Gucci - known as Gucci for short - was founded in Florence by Guccio Gucci in 1921. In its developing years, Gucci was famous for the fighting between its owning family members and it wasn't until Maurizio Gucci took over the company in the 1980's that Gucci was able to focus solely on becoming one of the world's most influential fashion houses.

But it was in the 1990's that Gucci had its worst time in its history. As profits plummeted, Maurizio was forced to sell his interest in Gucci and leave the company. As a result, vested interest groups began to fight for control of the company. Surprisingly through this time the company continued to be a leading fashion house.
