Collection: EMILIO PUCCI
Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento travelled every year from St. Moritz to Capri and back, the two places where the wealthy would spend their time throughout the year. After being a member of the Italian Olympic skiing team in 1934, he received a skiing scholarship from the University of Reed (Oregon, United States). It was there that he began designing sportswear for his ski team. While skiing in Zermatt, Harper's Bazaar reporter and photographer Toni Frissel noticed Pucci and his outfit. After seeing the photos, Frissell’s editor asked Pucci to design skiwear for a story on European winter fashion for the 1948 issue. Pucci is credited with being the first person to design a one-piece ski suit.
In 1949 Pucci opened his first shop in the resort of Canzone del Mare on the island of Capri, and his first couture line was presented in Paris in 1950. He designed a range of casual wear in lightweight fabrics, from Capri pants to silk dresses, jumpsuits, pyjamas, scarves and more. His prints of bright bold clashing colours made him stand out. His silk dresses were very popular in the 1950s and 60s as they were light, wrinkle free and perfect for travelling. Marylin Monroe, Lauren Bacall and Jaqueline Kennedy all wore Pucci’s designs.

Vintage Art Edition of Pucci glory
Emilio Pucci had a passion for women, a visionary sense of style, and an eye for color and design. With these talents, he created a fashion house unlike any other. By the early ’50s his boutique on the isle of Capri was catering to wealthy sophisticates, heiresses, and movie stars buying his “Capri pants,” silk scarves, and lightweight separates. By the end of the decade, Jacqueline Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe were wearing his dresses, and by the mid-’60s, the label was synonymous with the gilded lifestyle of an international jetset.
The Pucci story is a modern epic with its roots in renaissance Italy: the brand’s founder, the Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento, was a charismatic aristocrat whose lineage extends back to the 14th century. It is a story of evolution: a family company which grew from one tiny store to an international brand. And finally, it is a tale of innovation: Pucci was one of the first brands to bear a logo, and a pioneer of diversification into interiors, athletic wear, and accessories. It introduced free-moving, lightweight fabrics, pop-art prints, and a new color palette into womenswear, and constantly pushed fabric and printing technologies.
