The timeless signature prints can be found on everything from clothing, shoes, handbags to furniture and houseware. Emilio Puccis was born in 1914 in Italy, Florence but it took almost 40 years until he shot to couture stardom in the 1950's which was also the time where he developed his signature prints. Man must see Emilio Pucci patterns only once but will immediately recognize them again. Bold, abstract patterns that swirl in a kaleidoscope of color and color scheme. It is well known that Emilio Pucci's ultimate vision was to liberate women. Pucci encouraged soft silhouettes, welcoming a new era of comfort and freedom of movement in a time where fashion dictated the wearing of girdles and crinolines. The international fashion press of the 60's adored his creations, hailing Pucci "The Prince of Prints". Vogue declared that Pucci had “largely invented the look of the woman of the moment—one might almost say he has invented the woman herself.”
