Emilio Pucci S/S 2012 Milan

[lelaid]

eh, its ok. a few good looks but im not feeling it. and im a pucci fan.

Some of these pieces looked great on the show (probably because they're so light, printed and the models were zooming through) but on pics, it looks dull.

There were some great pieces but overall, pretty lackluster.

The close ups for some of the fabric should be amazing!!

Also the hair and make up are AWESOME! Every girl looks amazing!

While I do like it--emphasis on like--I can't help feeling that Dundas is a one trick pony. I feel like he is going to run out of "look" the same way Decarnin did @ Balmain...fun for a few seasons and then whats the point?

 

[Not Plain Jane]

What is happening in Milan?! By and large there seems to be a virgin/wh*re split in the collections: everything from sl*tty mermaids (there's the dichotomy right there!), to tacky 80s b*tch dressing, to even tackier gypsies, to even-tackier-than-that Hawiian grass skirts and lei-style florals, all the way through to "sweet" sickly car nostalgia, and scary Stepford wife clones & ice-cold frigid fashions. *heavy sigh.* I am disappointed.

NYC and London had their downsides, too, of course, but they were far far stronger collections, fashions, directions, depictions of women, overall, than Milan has been thus far. I guess I am putting my cards on Paris at this point, hoping that the best will be last!! (Or maybe Mui Mui will surprise. Here's hoping...)

P.s. More directly, there are a few nice looks here, some great play on texture, but in general, meh.

As the show went along, it progressed and I didn't think it was as bad as the first three outfits. The Latin American influence was captured nicely, there are a lot of Armani references used to the line's advantage. A solid collection in total.
Emina Cunmulaj could have been perfect for this show.

lol this is so ugly, some looks scream 'costume'... i can't even.

 

[ALAUU]

OMG, I almost gagged when I saw this. The most horrendous collection I've seen this season so far.

 

[BibiRose]

I usually enjoy Emilio Pucci collections, but this season's left me very disappointed. The opening looks are so ugly! There is too much going on here- various prints, jewelry, length, themes... It looks like a one big mess. I like two or three dresses though- but that's all.

 

[Ives927]

Some of the skirts alone are nice, but the styling couldn't been anymore over the top and tacky.

I'm also not very fond of the idea of dresses making its way onto the red carpet BEFORE it's even been shown on the runway. Turns me off.

This feels kind of lazy, quite honestly. I mean it's not that Dundas has ever stretched for inspirations that are out of the box, but in general he does do some fun things with tried and true themes. This just feels last minute, like there was no thought involved beyond "gypsy", no effort put in beyond remaking the basics - cropped peasant blouse, full tiered skirt, crochet, handkerchief hems. Even the prints, which I have to say Dundas has managed to do great things with for his runway collections, feel completely unimaginative, and on top of that they don't really feel like Pucci prints. I mean, I can't remember the last time I didn't see those colorful scarf-y prints in every store come spring, I certainly don't need to see them at Pucci's price point.

Agree 100%

This collection seems a step down from the past two. Last season I was quite surprised he managed to successfully find a Pucci aesthetic outside that whole Capri-Mykonos-Jet-Set-vibe. This season, he was not so lucky. Everything seems quite messy. Although I do see some exquisite craftsmanship, I will give him that.

 

[ParisFashionMuse]

it def was a hit or miss for some pieces

 

[KKnardi]

I kind of like some of the pieces, but I would see more glamour from pucci this season.

 

[fantastical]

some pieces I liked, some dresses not so much. I just wish the gypsy inspiration was more developed. overall, not that bad to be labeled terrible, and certainly not nearly as bad as Versace - which was my low for this season.

 

[Donatello89]

I have to say... I like it !!!!!! this is the first time I appreciate a pucci collection since williamson left, maybe especially because it's not a typical pucci collection. the mystic vibe is really nice. i especially enjoyed the dark black pieces.

 

[gomtik]

Few decent pieces. Generally not a fan of the Pucci-goth.

I feel the same as you! The previous collection (Fall 2011) was very nice, but this is horrible
