Really unexpected turn. Peter for Dundas added that extra touch to the Pucci graphic patterning, to see it become a "messy gypsy" look doesn't give the label justice (it's also, like what many have mentioned, a very much Cavalli sensibility that he already dominates in).
I'm still on the fence with this collection. I really like Peter and what he did for Ungaro and so far for Pucci. But every season he moves further away from what I think of as Pucci.

I'm not liking it. It's not as bad as Missoni but I still think these traditional Italian brands are moving into the wrong direction. I understand that they want younger costumers but does that mean you have to gypsy-fy everything? It's too messy for me. And if baring your midriff is becoming so trendy again I'll die.
I actually think this collection is quite good. Pucci was never the type of aesthetic that fit my regular tastes to an ace but I've always liked it in a different way. This collection is no different. Yes, it's a bit dramatic and kistchy and loud, but that's a part of what I like about it.
