Rihanna for Gucci
November 25th, 2008 / Posted in Celebrity Style, Gucci Handbags by Megs Mahoney Dusil.
The fashion world was buzzing over news that Rihanna would be teaming up with Gucci. Rihanna is known for her funky style, young appeal, never ending legs, and brilliant voice. Gucci creative director Frida Giannini has said, “I wanted Rihanna on board with this project because she’s so young, so modern, and so iconic.”
Rihanna adds, “I have always been a fan of the Gucci brand and the products, especially their handbags. But most of all, I’m very very intrigued by what they’re doing with UNICEF. As an artist, I feel like it’s our duty to make it a better place if we can. I’m blown away by what UNICEF has been able to accomplish in Africa with the money that Gucci has donated to them. I’m very fortunate to be part of this wonderful collaboration.”
25% of all handbag proceeds from the “Tattoo Heart Collection” will benefit UNICEF.

Weird commercial… she looks pretty though
awkward.
is that supposed to be a hula hoop?
Ed Hardy? Yuck.
chessy.. and i have always thought she is a big fan LV cos she is always photographed while carrying her lv bags.
I got this catalog in yesterday. It may not be my preferred style, but whether you like this particular handbag or not it’s for a great cause. I don’t recall any other major designer doing such a great thing.
I really don’t like it; bags aren’t much cop either.
i think she looks good,i love her style she’s my singer an i also like gucci bags
Not a fan.
I like the music, not her looks and voice.
Ugly Gucci bag. no style. they really turn down last couple years.
I like Hermes and LV better.
well rihanna really rock it . gucci is so fly ,what ever they make it always stands out. and rihanna made that the bag pop even more.
While it’s for a good cause, the commercial is cheesy and the bags look like they just have a huge patch plastered over them. What is with the soundtrack? And why does it seem like she’s pulling her swing both ways or something…like that. So weird!
Rihanna may be popular and may attract a lot of attention to this campaign but I think she’s too young and new to represent a luxury and historic (read: very old) fashion house.
Different…but i like the bag
Don’t tell me Ed Hardy wants to get into the handbag business.
Thats just ridiculous.
Who wants a hand bag that looks like a big messed up tatoo?
Janet
Your every day handbag girl
i like it. I’d use it as an overnight bag or something… I couldnt view the video, they removed it.
I like it..alot! But, it is one of those things that is not for everybody. Not everyone can pull it off. She can!
I received my watch today. It is great.
Thank you.
