Your Friday French Fashion Report: Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer Collection 2011


"Groovy, baby!" The spirit of Brigitte Bardot and swingin' 60's jet setters partying from London to L.A. is captured by Norwegian designer Peter Dundas for the iconic Italian House of Pucci for Spring/Summer 2011. Objective: Breath new life into a brand on the brink of irrelevancy, and bring it into the future! With respect to the Godfather - he dressed Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy after all - Dundas continues the tradition of colourful signature prints that are uniquely Pucci; in slim hiphugging trousers and flowing feminine gowns. Skin tight thigh high boots are a visually exciting juxtaposition to blue and white silk chiffon; if I had to choose only one new pair of shoes for the rest of my life, it would be those boots! Of course there is swimwear, (as Pucci began in the 1950's as a boutique on the island of Capri) and who among us can't use an uber soft jewel toned tunic in our wardrobe? Fresh, young, and hip, sensual, comfortable, and sexy are just a few words that come to my mind; how about you? Must have for Spring: slim trousers and the highest platform stilletos you can manage!
