Emilio Pucci Fall 2013

Emilio Pucci Fall 2013

Deftly designer Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci unveiled an intriguing Fall 2013 Collection. A discordant mixture of textural fabrics and punchy contours draped lithe bodies erratically.

Sasha Luss opened the show in an intricately embellished, gunmetal grey, navy and sapphire decadent long sleeve blouse, tucked into signature Pucci scarf print, high waisted skirt, high low hem flounce detail in shades of muted lavender, black and white. The look was drawn together with a tiger, ponyskin waist cincher belt and palatial thigh high, second skin, suede boots in rich toffee.

Kasia Struss modelled high waisted ebony tap shorts, paired with beaded fringed collarless jacket in lunar accents. The look was completed with a gauzy, transparent, polka dot blouse featuring plunge, key hole, navel slit alluding suggestiveness.

Dense, woollen cape coats in monochromatic black and white featured Italian renaissance prints complete with generously sized stud trimmings.

Bouffant, dolman sleeved, silk scarf print dresses came in the form of micro proportions. Shades included cotton candy paired with dove grey and azure teamed with black and white, romantic, poeticism reigned supreme.

An injection of colour was evident on a peacock blue, boiled wool pea coat with military magnetism. Black suede over the knee boots featuring beaded adornment offered plenty of opulence.

An abundance of undulating swirls featuring transparent panelling were found on a saccharine, ice blue, body skimming mini dress.

Signature Pucci ostentation and glamour was seen on a burnished gold, sweetheart neckline, long sleeved cocktail dress starring polka dot decolletage insert. Boudoir inspiration played an eminent role in the collection. La Perlaesque lingerie slip dresses in spiderweb lace were married with exotic zebra print robes highlighted by oversized fur cuffs and collars.

Accessories comprised of zebra ponyskin hobos in camel and black, small neat boxy handbags and a fringed beaded drawstring bucket bag, an eveningwear covet worthy item. Suede thigh high boots in shades of claret, black and toffee dominated the runway, pointy toed patent stiletto slingbacks were a more demure option.

Hair maestro Luigi Murenu created soft faux fringes which swept models foreheads. Matte complexions, flesh apricot hued glossy lips, kohl rimmed eyes, lashings of mascara and false eyelashes lent a distinct 60s/70s beauty aesthetic.
