Bvlgari is not like anyone else. Being on the top of jewellery class it’s eyewear is just that – jewellery. And that gives the brand and ultimately you - a shopper, advantage of no need to follow trends. Of course, Spring of 2011 has set trends for eyewear and we covered that in other articles. Main innovations are bold square and masculine shapes, unisex focus and cat eye. Bvlgari follows its own path introducing a set of new classics.
Sunglasses
Bvlgari sunglasses 2011 collection introduces a new signature – emerald. 3 models BV6050B, BV8079B and BV8081 have a beautiful emerald on the side. A new spokesperson Julianne Moore has presented the 2011 season through the ads where she wore genuine 10 carat emerald earrings. Of course, the promotion didn’t pass without a scandal. The ad was banned from displaying in Venice due to Julianne posing naked only being covered with baby lions. The ad was deemed to be racy and not appropriate for historic Venice landmark St. Marcus Square. The President of the Venice Foundation said that he finds the poster rather suitable for Hollywood referring to Moore being American actress. The ban sparked outrage because his remark was actually racist, not the poster ad. In his short statement President was understood as reason for ban is the fact that Moore is American.
But any publicity is good publicity, right? So enjoy these emerald beauties.
