That was only the beginning of Emilio Pucci’s success story.
Pucci became the symbol of the pop culture of the 60’s. Emilio Pucci, Marchese di Barsento was born in November 20, 1914 he died in 29 November 1992. Pucci studied for a year at the University of Milan. In 1935 he travelled to the United States where he also studied, returning to the University of Florence, from which he graduated in 1941. After the war, he gained attention as a fashionable designer of skiwear after being featured modelling his own designs in Harper’s Bazaar in 1948. This was followed in 1949 with designs for hats, casual trousers, and shirts that further drew him to the attention of an affluent fashion-conscious clientele which reflected his own social background. In 1950 he opened his own couture house in Florence, increasingly gaining attention for colourful casual clothing. His clothes became highly fashionable on both sides of the Atlantic from the mid-1950s, with the establishment of a shop on Fifth Avenue, New York, and featured in Vogue.
