Emilio Pucci was a 1950-60’s Florentine Italian designer, a favorite of Marilyn Monroe and also worn by Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and Sophia Loren, and Madonna in the 90’s. He was best known for his wild geometric, colorful fabrics, as well as the fashion transition from couture to ready-to-wear.
