Emilio Pucci And Capellini

                                         
This was EMILIO PUCCI’S shop on East 64th when I lived there. 
Looking in the windows was like looking in a candy shop.
The master at work.



A few Vintage frocks,

I would have loved a pair of these.
You know people have tried imitate his designs.....but you can always tell the difference.

Get  a load of this....
Emilio Pucci was so much the man of the 60's that he was commissioned
to design the uniforms for Braniff Airlines. 

Braniff Airways introduced imaginative new flight attendant uniforms created by famed fashion designer Emilio Pucci. The plastic bubble helmet, to protect hairdos on windy tarmacs, was an integral part of the Pucci-designed uniforms.


I wonder if they wore those nutty helmets? 
The new shop on 5th.

Pucci painted his first scarf in 1949. Hand-colored drawings for scarves from the 1960s and ’70s typify the vibrant colors and patterns that characterized his work.
Handbags from the ’60s and ’70s. Pucci once said of his designs, which defined an era, “I revolutionized fashion because of intuition. Certain things were in the air.”

Silk jersey and silk organza dresses in several silhouettes from his 1970 collections hang in a closet.
In 2001 the firm joined forces with Cappellini to produce a new line of furniture.
The designer’s daughter, Laudomia, and his widow, Marchesa Cristina Pucci di Barsento,
 continue the Archivio Emilio Pucci which is dedicated to preserving his dynamic legacy.









Did any of you own a Pucci dress or scarf ??
Did you like his dresses?
And what do you think about Pucci joining forces with Capellini?
I like the idea.
