What was once reserved for the fashion elite is no more. Gucci has broken the unspoken golden rule [1] and is inviting the public to join them in a live webcast of their 2009 cruise runway show at Villa Aurelia in Rome. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of its store in Rome, the fashion house has invited everyone — that means you and me — to view their collection at Gucci.com [2].

So what can we look forward to? Gucci spokesmodels Claire Danes and James Franco are expected to attend along with a music performance from British band Goldfrapp. The show is set for 8 p.m. on July 8, local Italian time — set your calenders!
