Original caption: Florence: Softly Suited. Smartly tailored with softness, this suit notes the chic simplicity of styling created by Emilio Pucci in his Spring 1964 daytime collection. Done in a soft pink wool, the suit has a slightly tapering line, with narrow shoulders and a widening hemline. The hip-length jacket has a diminutive shirt collar and small oblique pocket flaps just above the bustline. The skirt is shaped with a large inverted pleat centered at front.

c. 1963. Florence: Topped With Lustre. A cassock-like top is the highlight of this at-home creation by Emilio Pucci of Italy. The designer creates interest by combining two patterns in a multicolor array and covering them with lustrous strass stones. The colorful top is coupled with long billowing pants which flow to the floor like a skirt.

This is a tribute that was made when he won the lifetime achievement award in 1991. I think it's lovely and really captures the spirit of the clothes! Plus you get some good detail shots of the patterns. The woman is Lady Miss Kier from Deee-Lite

Emilio Pucci (Italy, Emilia, 1914 - 1992)
Woman's Dress, 1969-1970
Printed silk jersey

Complex, colorful, and extraordinary textile designs complemented by utter simplicity in style and construction of garment design made the work of Emilio Pucci distinctive even in a period characterized by radical changes in fashion. Disdaining the artificially constructed, idealized feminine silhouette of Parisian haute couture in the fifties, he created instead clothes for the contemporary woman of the sixties—physically active, professional, confident, and elegant. Like a number of post-eighties designers, his clothes were unique in their syncretism. In Pucci’s innovative fusion of high fashion and sportswear, the brilliantly saturated colors and complex linear landscapes of his textiles made a single garment suitable for many occasions, appropriate for day or for evening wear.

Vogue’s Diana Vreeland once called Jane Holzer “the most contemporary girl I know.” This Emilio Pucci ensemble underscores Holzer’s up-to-the-minute taste in fashion. Deceptively simple from the front, the back of the dress has a long slit that originally revealed a full-length jumpsuit in a matching print. While the long silhouette is chic and flattering, the jumpsuit added playfulness and practicality. Jane Holzer’s youthful energy fit perfectly with the vitality of Pucci.
