It was my intention not to focus on the collections that
insult the concept of fashion or the business of fashion but I find this
particular collection to be especially egregious when it comes to the
atrocities that are committed on the runway

WTF is this mess? Someone had a spaghetti fringe attack!
The only thing that links these clothes to the brand’s core DNA is that prints
are used. It is a sad state of affairs when a brand that was known and built on
taste and chic turns out a collection such as this. The original brand was worn
by women (jet set) who were members of an elite group known for their sartorial
splendor. In today’s incarnation the women who might wear these clothes might
be equally notable for their lack of taste or for their hallucinatory drug
habit.

Emilio Pucci was an Italian aristocrat who mingled and
cultivated his clients by inhabiting their worlds. Pete Dundas reimagined the
brand in a rocker euro way that surely brought a heavy dose of sex appeal to the
brand and now we have this nightmare which proposes prints that look like 50s
and 60s banlon used for loungewear but now in clothes, and I use the term loosely, in outfits costing $1000s.
Take your money and burn it… throw it
out a window and donate it to a worthy cause but hell don’t waste it on this so
you can look like an award winning tasteless fashion freak!
