Emilio Pucci
After a somewhat colourful early life, coming from a privileged background, friends with Mussolini’s inner circle, it was Emilio Pucci’s interest in sport that directed him to his first design project, making clothes for the skiing team of Reed college in Oregon, USA.
Following on in the same vein Pucci designed skiwear for a friend that was photographed for Harper’s Bazaar causing a great stir and in due course widespread awareness. He set up his studio in Capri’s Canzone del Mare. From skiwear to swimwear to scarves to clothes the rest is history…
To me his use of colour is explosive, iconic. I love his instantly recognisable patterns they are somehow reassuring, the geometrics glide and collide forming part of my visual pattern bank. I admire his pioneering attitude towards fabrics, no one else during the 50’s and 60’was working with stretch fabric in the way he was, making fabulous figure-hugging garments.

About the Print
In homage to the photographer David Cardelus we used diagonal stripes inspired by some of his spectacular images for our Olivia print. We created bold and strong lines with clashing colours of citrine and mauve, the print is both playful and classic.
Style Notes
Wear with a crisp white shirt, and jeans or a tailored trouser suit to brighten up the everyday look.
