Man! If I could afford it, I'd totally wear Pucci. In a 
heartbeat!
And Missoni. I luuurrrrve the colorful Italian fabrics and the sprightly, fun designs.
Also those tights in the first picture? COVET! 
I love the hats, too. Hats need to come back into general use...nobody wears hats anymore and hats are awesome! I'd wear that tufty little mulberry hat.
I love their vintage stuff, too. I have a marvelous dress that was obviously inspired by Pucci:
Urgh--ignore my head, won't you? I was going to a costume party and was wearing some horrible lilac eyeshadow and making a really dorky face!
Here's a little better picture of a friend of mine modelling it:
We were in a class in college together on historic fashion, and our class's term project was to put on a fashion show of historic costume, either replicas we had made in a separate Pattern-Drafting class or things we brought in or borrowed from the county history magazine. I submitted the 1880s dress I made and a selection of my 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s vintage, and this dress made the cut.
It is so obnoxious! It is one of my absolute favorites. I think it may have been from J. C. Penny's Junior Bazaar.
love the hats and tights...... the shows tend to be a bit overwhelming when all the looks are put together, but i think that individualy many of the pieces are fun, exciting and great
