Pucci. Updated Edition av Vanessa Friedman, Alessandra Arezzi Boza, Pucci

<p><strong>Emilio Pucci </strong>had a passion for women, a visionary sense of style, and an eye for color and design. With these talents, he created <strong>a fashion house unlike any other</strong>. By the early ’50s, his boutique on the isle of Capri was catering to wealthy sophisticates, heiresses, and movie stars buying his <strong>“Capri pants,” silk scarves, and lightweight separates</strong>. By the end of the decade, <strong>Jacqueline Kennedy</strong> and <strong>Marilyn Monroe</strong> were wearing his dresses, and by the mid-’60s, the label was <strong>synonymous with the gilded lifestyle of an international jetset</strong>.<br/> <br/> The Pucci story is <strong>a modern epic with its roots in renaissance Italy</strong>: the brand’s founder, the Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento, was a charismatic aristocrat whose lineage extends back to the 15th century. It is a story of evolution: a family company that grew from one tiny store to an international brand. And finally, it is a tale of innovation: Pucci was <strong>one of the first brands to bear a logo</strong>, and a pioneer of <strong>diversification into interiors, athletic wear, and accessories</strong>. It introduced<strong> free-moving, lightweight fabrics, pop-art prints, and a new color palette</strong> into womenswear, and constantly pushed fabric and printing technologies.<br/> <br/> Featuring <strong>hundreds of photographs</strong>, <strong>drawings, and candid shots from the archive of the Emilio Pucci Foundation</strong>, this XL tome captures the breathtaking elegance and drama of a unique brand. Vanessa Friedman’s text places Emilio’s achievements in the context of fashion history and provides insight into the remarkable Pucci dynasty.<br/> <br/> <strong>Each book is uniquely bound with one of a selection of original print fabrics from Emilio Pucci’s collection</strong> and will be delivered with one of the stunning fabrics available.<br/></p>
