A strong, iconic element of the Italian city, the “Piazzeta” (the little square) is at the heart of the second collection designed by Camille Miceli for Pucci. “It’s a joyful and warm place, shaded here and there by beautiful trees, where the colorful and cheerful tablecloths of the trattorias dance in the wind, embodying La Dolce Vita. A joyful art of living embodied by this drop that plays with bright colors and materials, without giving up comfort. Thus, the cool and sporty look of the 90s is finished with a bohemian touch. Knits and jerseys are designed to move with the body. The disco, ruffled evening pants, a tribute to the Italian singer Raffaella Carrà, are made of elastic Lycra, borrowed from activewear. The materials do not wrinkle and fit easily in a suitcase. This collection hides two little treasures: the fish – the new Pucci signature logo, round and generous in its design – on the jewelry, buttons, and zippers, and a silk label featuring a hand-drawn sketch of the Faraglioni in Capri (where Emilio opened his first store in 1951) and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Embroidered and quilted, it adorns the clothes like a miniature painting.
