Emilio Pucci Spring Summer 2012 Review




Couture-grade, fantasy wank, slut clothes. I see the appeal of this collection as a whole but once you break down each look it’s all very 90’s boho, peasanty, Matthew Williamson. I mean really. Remove yourself from the hype and some of the clothes aren’t that great. But some of them are. Abbey Lee looked like a goth Barbie. Joan Smalls looked dressy and sexy in a tailored jacket that was cut to expose the hip. It looks infinitely better than it sounds I promise you. As well as Salvatore Ferragamo, Dundas makes a very convincing argument for fashion victims to stop wearing platform shoes. Sandals are finally looking fresh again after what, five or six years of platform domination?

PUCCI SPRING 2010

Matthew Williamson has left the house. Thank god, I really don't like what he does anyway.
So now they've got Peter Dundas (formerly of Ungaro) at the helm. I looked at this collection and I could just imagine the CEO in a meeting with Dundas.
CEO- We're looking for something, youthful, sexy, edgy. Kinda like, oh gee, what's that label? Ah yes, Balmain. Just do Balmain.
Dundas- Yes sir.
I dunno, this is just another Milan collection where I can't fault the creativity, the workmanship, the sheer work that goes into making a collection etc but it's just so...blah. Like, yeah, you did a sequined mini dress. AMAZE ME GOD-DAMMIT! So now Pucci will be the next hot label. The feathered, tassled dress pictured will be on every red carpet in a town near you.
ps, How hot is model Rose Cordero? She's so Grace Jones.
