Feisty and fun, the Pucci Pre-Fall collection paid homage to Pop Art
In keeping with Pucci tradition, eccentric touches abounded. Printed stretchy leggings were worn with chunky cashmere sweaters, while a mauve Prince of Wales blazer was paired with a chiffon blouse and straight, cropped pants printed with an ebullient, slightly bonkers leopard motif. The cherry on the cake was an evening pajama palazzo in luscious emerald green velvet, graced with a floral motif inspired by Botticelli’s famous painting La Primavera, one of the treasures exhibited at Florence’s Uffizi Museum. The homage made perfect sense: One of Botticelli’s exquisite paintings has been in the Pucci family for generations, hung in their historic palazzo with chic nonchalance as if it were commonplace.
