EMILIO PUCCI

Emilio Pucci born in Naples on the 20th of November 1914, is famous for his vibrant, geometric prints.  In the first two images the famous model Verschka Von Lehndroff is photographed. 

He started his career unexpectedly in 1947 while on the slopes of Zermatt. A photograph of a ski suit he designed for a female friend featured in Harper's Bazaar. Following this photo Emilio Pucci opened a boutique in capri where the influence of his Mediterranean culture is clear throughout his garments. 

In this spring/summer 15 collection, I love the freedom of movement the models have while gracing us down the runway. The soft, delicate material has allowed them to look comfortable and at ease without any restriction. Although the last two dresses have jewels around the neck suggesting to me some kind of firmness. 

The wide range of colours throughout this collection suggests this brand are really thinking of different audiences. In the first image the colours and print are subtle, increasing up from a mellow orange/yellow, to red then onto blue hues. Where as Kendall Jenner is wearing a tribal infused dress in a tropical yellow, with snippets of animal prints, placed vertically down the dress. A complete contrast to the first dress. My favourite dress in this collection  has to be the last one because they have created two different prints in contrasting colours but fused them together.  

Even though the 60s designs are similar to this 2015 collection, with there wide range of colours and prints. The differences are clear, as the model Veruschka wearing the hood and bikini in the first image shows a strong and powerful print. My eyes get drawn up towards the hood, but I still get lost in this repeated print. In contrast the three dresses on the 2015 runway are less structured. I think this is due to the drape of the material making the dresses flow when worn, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
