Pucci prints are synonymous with summer joie de vivre …
You may have noticed brightly coloured graphic prints are trending: Sara Battaglia, River Island, Zara and Coperni have all produced iterations on palazzo pants, bikinis and silky blouses, easy to pack for holiday dressing.
Capri is synonymous with the brand, where Pucci’s original store, La Canzone del Mare, stocked ankle-skimming Capri pants, poplin shirts, silk scarves and jersey T-shirts in bright colours, from lemon to lilac and cobalt to chartreuse. Symbolically, it was Capri where the current artistic director of Pucci, Camille Miceli returned in May of last year to launch her collection “La Grotta Azzurra”.
Miceli has focused on the Geometrico, Girandole, Marmo, Iride, Fagiano, Dalia and Pesci prints deliberately keeping them as imperfect as the originals. “I think that digitised patterns strip Pucci’s motifs of the imperfections that are part of their unique charm,” she explained. She’s right of course. Pucci’s most famous print, Vivara, dating from 1965, was inspired by the crescent-shaped island in the Gulf of Naples viewed from above.
If a new generation is enthused by the designs, let’s hope they also recognise what a pioneer Emilio Pucci was too. The first garment he created was a colourful ski suit for a female friend to wear on the slopes of Zermatt. The outfit – sleek ski pants and a hooded parka – was photographed forand orders poured in. If Pucci’s sartorial adventure took off by accident rather than design, he embraced the challenge.
For me, Pucci prints are synonymous with summer joie de vivre, and I stalk The Outnet for bargains, though I acknowledge not everyone is a fan. Karl Lagerfeld famously said, “I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.”
