Emilio Pucci Collection

Emilio Pucci RTW Spring 2009
Matthew Williamson appeared to be looking ahead when he conceived his final collection for Pucci. Or at least that’s one interpretation of the futuristic undercurrent that ran through spring’s sharp silhouettes: strong-shouldered jackets, sculpted peplum tops and geometric versions of the house prints, which Williamson may be weary of by now. Of course, those iconic swirling patterns come with the job and a big challenge, namely that they impose incredible limits and inevitably read retro. Here, in peach, purple, pink and green, sometimes with a palm-leaf pattern, they skewed the futuristic flourishes toward the Eighties, particularly once the sequined styles strode in. It was a lot to handle. Signature Pucci works best in small doses, which was why the increased offering of solids and sexy swimwear was Williamson’s smartest move.
