Predominant Style of the Show
Pucci: Spring Summer 2012 Collection

COLOURThank goodness for Pucci! In a world filled with Banana Republic's & GAPs it's so refreshing to see some colour. Pucci is always reliable when it comes to that special Mediterranean, African, Middle Eastern look (a little broad I know). Not only is Pucci not afraid to use colour but they embrace pattern to it's fullest extent. 


Emilio Pucci
Just as a background to Pucci. Emilio Pucci flourished in the 60's because of the use of colour and print his designs catered specifically to the market of youth wanting to break away. Pucci prints are geometric and a text book case of the typical 1960's look. In this collection the use of colour and geometric print references back to the original Pucci look.

What I really love is the new twist put onto the classic button-up shirt. Like blazers (which I've already talked about) the button up shirt, if done properly, is  a classic way to up the ante on any outfit. This collection of shirts takes it to the next level, they aren't just for the boring monotonous banker outfit. What really makes these shirts luxurious is their material. It looks like a silk almost, and there's no better way to feel pretty, than to wear a pretty feeling outfit. Just like a blazer this can easily be worn with a pair of jeans to make it a conversation piece (yes clothing can be conversation starters) and add punch to one's everyday style.

The collection featured an almost belly dancer type ensemble with a midriff baring top and flowy skirt. This was very feminine and pretty, but with punch and flare. There were no unnecessary frills or bows but the sense that the clothes are made for women is evident. Looking at the photo below, there is nothing delicate about this outfit but at the same time it is whimsical and, again, flowy. The music definitely evokes an arabian feel to the show which fit perfectly.

Wedding Dress

The collection finished off on a traditional note with a wedding dress. The wedding dress isn't my favourite and I think it could be a little more original to end such a good show.

These are some of my personal favourite pieces from the show...
