For the project, 12 musicians from all over the world were asked to represent their personal live performance experience through shots, videos or exclusive illustrations, along with collaborators such as artists, illustrators, photographers, video directors and graphic designers. The results took on many forms, from photography to illustration and video; with genres ranging&nbsp;from behind-the-scenes reporting and onstage, fan art to the design of concert fliers.

Within their works, the musicians celebrate the most individual styles of the current Gucci eyewear collection. The designs have a distinctive spirit of rock &#39;n&#39; roll:&nbsp;featuring large square shapes decorated with beautiful pearly acetate, rich glass paves and colorful leather details. In addition to the square pieces and a selection of street style aviator models that reflect the theme of daring forms combined with rich colors.
