EMILIO PUCCI

Born in 1914 to one of Florence’s oldest noble families, Emilio Pucci became a fashion phenomenon in the 1950’s. It all began when he created a streamlined ski outfit, photographed for Harper’s Bazaar and his trailblazing vision continues to reverberate today.

The brand has been synonymous with bold, brightly coloured graphic patterns with a kaleidoscopic, slightly psychedelic feel. Pucci prints usually appear on clingy, stretchy fabrics, and are widely applied in every category—evening wear, ready-to-wear, swimwear, accessories, shoes and home décor; they have even been featured in the logo of the Apollo 15 space mission and the interior of a Ford Lincoln Continental. Each one piece is unique, and as a result, vintage Pucci is highly collectible. The “Prince of Prints” and CFDA-award winner Emilio Pucci designed the line himself until his death in 1992.
