Gucci creates line for Beijing Olympics

With just 8 months left (I will be in Beijing at that time) Gucci has created a limited edition collection for the Beijing Olympics. No other designer brand has done that with other Olympic games! I really hope this Olympic games will become a successful one and gain special attention from people all over the world. Olympic Games in China for the first time! This is EXCITING!

Separate from any official celebration or sponsor, Frida Giannini has created a special collection called 8-8-2008 Limited Edition that encompasses eight exclusive accessories with a sporty bent. The collection will only be available in Gucci stores in China and Hongkong (except the watches which will be sold worldwide). From the US$3150 set of Gucci mahjong to the US$3420 Gucci bicycle, Gucci has almost successfully captured the essence of Chinese culture. The only qualm I have is that almost everything is only in one colour which is called the China Red.

I really like that red bike!!! But the stuffed panda toy is creeping me out. The sneakers look good but I still prefer white Lacoste ones. I'm also quite disappointed with this watch, it costs 1415 USD.... I wouldn't mind that red oversized bag and that guy in the campaign! What do you think of the collection?
