Are you waiting patiently for the opening of the Gucci x Mark Ronson "Icon" Pop-Up this weekend? Or maybe you just don't care about that, but still love Gucci? Either way, you might want to take a gander at the newest fashion app released today for the iPhone: Gucci's Little Black Book and DJ mixer.

It's free from the iTunes store?the only time you'll ever be handed something Gucci for free unles you're famous?and has interactive, informational and product release-related functions. Truth be told, we're kind of impressed by it. For a full, accurate description, we turn to iTunes:
