Emilio Pucci Spring 2013

Peter Dundas has created yet another opulent Emilio Pucci collection for Spring 2013 which will be adored by his celebrity fans.

Last season the designer gave us a Spanish flavour; this time the collection was steeped in Asian cultural influences.

I loved the bomber jackets emblazoned with embroidered dragons which were long enough to wear as mini dresses. Gold dragon embroidery also adorned black silky kimono-style pyjamas, which would make for a very interesting red-carpet look.

On a colour palette that was mostly white, with black, green, red and one single electric-blue embroidered bomber jacket paired with a fitted skirt, we also saw Chinese jackets featuring traditional knot closures, red-carpet-worthy gowns, leather jackets and tunics.

Sheer dresses and pants added a touch of sex appeal to the collection, which will delight Lea Michele and Kylie Minogue.

Peter Dundas didn’t forget to pay homage to Pucci’s heritage with vivid 70s ‘Elisse’ patchwork-style prints modernized with a wood-blocking effect.

Joan Smalls closed the show wearing a bright red halter gown, which I can see popping up on a red carpet very soon.

Key accessories included cuffs, wedges, metallic clutches, shoulder bags and oversized sunglasses.
