THE weather’s take a distinctly Christmassy turn and Gucci‘s already putting a little festive cheer into the winter doldrums. Frida Giannini has adapted her cult Flora print into a green and red leather and velvet version with an enamel holly charm – and if that doesn’t put you in the mood, there’s a new gold, Gucci-embossed range of accessories all featuring the same enamel holly berries. If the whole thing feels a little too indulgent, bear in mind that, between November 21 and December 31, 20 per cent of the sale of these items will go towards Gucci‘s UNICEF programme that is now being fronted by Hollywood sweetie Jennifer Connelly. Launched last year in Malawi, the initiative this year will provide lifesaving education, health services, clean water and protection to children in Mozambique, where more than 600,000 children are affected by HIV and Aids. “The 2006 holiday campaign is part of the most extensive philanthropic program in Gucci‘s history ,and we are committed to supporting important humanitarian efforts thorugh UNICEF,” says Mark Lee, Gucci ceo and president. – vogue uk
