Pucci clothes always remind me of summer. During the 60s and 70s-the designs were brightly-colored, effortless, comfy, and audaciously patterned. Pucci experimented with many different materials suited for his trademark sportswear. Typically, he used nylon because it was easy to maintain and resistant-and helanca which could be stretched to up to five times without losing its shape (there were also many pieces made of jersey). Pucci was inspired by Hippie style for cotton djellabas-the Arab influenced pyjama trousers.
Using geometric prints, Pucci drew his color palette from natural and exotic landscapes of the Cote d’Azur and Mediterranean islands. The designs were meant to evoke a youthful and practical style that could be worn all day.

Amazing, amazing, amazing blog <3 I've got a question: In one of your posts (named 'who killed Christopher Robin?', posted 14 july 2008) you used a quote about Brian Jones by Marianne Faithfull. Is this from any biography? I hope that you will help me.

^ Natalia, the quote from the top of that post is from Marianne Faithfull's 1994 autobiography, Faithfull. I hope Luna doesn't mind me butting in, I just saw the comment and knew the answer off the top of my head!
Thank you so much Kaitlyn, it's very kind of you

Pucci is one of the reasons I adore 60s-70s fashion and an utter inspiration, the clothes demonstrate with simplicity and beauty how 'practical' need not mean 'ugly'. A wonderful print, interesting cut, fresh palette and something light and comfy can also be art.
I can only marvel at how it must have been in the day, freedom from stuffy clothing AND a colour delight.
Pucci's legacy is seen on catwalks season after season- and rightly so!
Kaitlyn is right, its a quote from Marianne's book. ^ I
don't mind you cutting in for me, I'm glad my readers know about the subjects I post.
Pucci clothes reminds me The Hippie Epoch, when everything was colorful and psychodelic... the classic time of peace & love.
I am ever so in love with everything Pucci printed....in fact, I have a new outfit post about Pucci prints this Monday, June 18. Hope you could check out my blog if you got a sec.
