What do the city of Florence and patterns have in common? Prints charming himself – Emilio Pucci. Despite his death in 1992, Pucci remains the Prince of patterns. His designs dominated the wardrobes of Sixties jet-setters, including Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O, and continue to influence fashion to this day. Taschen’s recently released vintage art edition titled, Pucci, is a tome of all tomes. Featuring 416 pages, each book comes bound in original Pucci fabric accompanied by four art prints and the signature of Pucci’s daughter, Laudomia, current Image Director of the fashion house. With only 500 signed copies in existence, line up now for your piece of history. Oh…and might we mention…it’s only a mere £650.
