STYLE ICON: EMILI PUCCI

Pucci (1914-1992) was a Florence based designer and politician, known for his geometric patterns in kaleidoscope colours. He started out designing Ski wear for friends, then started designing and making swimwear, scarves, dresses and lingerie.

From there, his brand became one of the most successful fashion houses around the world. With the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Jacqueline Kennedy wearing his items in the 60′s and Kylie Monogue and Victoria Beckham sporting his items today.
