JOURNEY TO THE HEART OF THE PIAZZETA OF CAMILLE MICELI

Exposition Paris

A robust, iconic aspect of the Italian city, the “Piazzeta” (the little sq.) is at the heart of the second collection designed by Camille Miceli for Pucci. “It’s a joyful and warm place, shaded right here and there by lovely timber, the place the colorful and cheerful tablecloths of the trattorias dance in the wind, embodying La Dolce Vita. A joyful art of dwelling embodied by this drop that plays with brilliant colours and supplies, 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 maneuver with the body. The disco, ruffled night pants, a tribute to the Italian singer Raffaella Carrà, are manufactured from elastic Lycra, borrowed from activewear. The materials do not wrinkle and match easily in a suitcase. This assortment hides two little treasures: the fish – the new Pucci signature emblem, spherical and beneficiant in its design – on the jewellery, buttons, and zippers, and a silk label featuring a hand-drawn sketch of the Faraglioni in Capri (the place Emilio opened his first store in 1951) and the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. Embroidered and quilted, it adorns the clothes like a miniature painting.
