The new Prince of Prints

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 03:19:16 +0000

It all started in Florence with a man from a noble family, Emilio Pucci, who founded the house Pucci, characterized by sophisticated and smart use of materials that fit the body, providing great comfort and mobility.

The now classic prints of the house were inspired by the landscapes present in the Mediterranean, full of color and life, in kaleidoscopic forms and abstract patterns that opened new paths in fashion since 1950.

Now in charge of continuing with the style of the Florentine house is the designer Peter Dundas, who was appointed it’s creative director in 2008. He is now commissioned to continue as the new “prince of prints,” their job is to introduce new ideas and concepts without changing the tradition of Pucci.

In his second collection as creative director at Pucci, S / S 2010, it shows a casual style, with a variety of color and dynamic brands that emphasize the silhouette and the female body.

Be Chic or not, that is the question

admin — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:55:55 +0000

Trends come and trends go, so you always have to remember is what we use most be practical and tasteful. The golden rule, no excesses.

Try to avoid hair extensions, impractical for this hot season. Long hair is permitted but not too much, should look natural and manageable. Scarves and belts are ok, no crowns.

Makeup should be in accordance with what you wear. A bad make up can ruin your look cute no matter what dress you’re wearing. Do not use too much, this is a common and fatal mistake.

Combine pieces of different fabrics and colorful patterned materials.

Corset type clothing and skirts combined with translucent blouses leaving lingerie at sight are what we saw on runway. Asymmetrical gown dresses are nothing chic.

Stilletos, sandals and flats with straps type gladiator, heels, low heels and retro-sixties with all its colors are what you’ll see on all sides.
