'''Emilio Pucci, [[Marquess|Marchese]] di Barsento''' ({{IPA|it|eˈmiːljo ˈputtʃi}}; 20 November 1914 – 29 November 1992) was an Italian aristocrat, fashion designer and politician. He and his eponymous company designed geometric prints in many colors.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Casadio |first=Mariuccia |date=1998 |title=Emilio Pucci |location=New York |publisher=Universe/Vendome |isbn=0-7893-0250-0 |oclc=40605642}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Flaccavento |first1=Angelo |last2=Lissoni |first2=Pireo |date=October 2019 |editor-last=Pucci |editor-first=Laudomia |title=Unexpected Pucci: interiors, furniture, ceramics and art pieces |edition=First |others=Introduction:Suzy Menkes |isbn=978-88-918-2274-1 |location=New York |publisher=Rizzoli |oclc=1089958794}}</ref>

==Early life==
Pucci was born in [[Naples]] in 1914 to the [[Pucci family]], and he lived and worked in the [[Palazzo Pucci, Florence|Pucci Palace]] in Florence for much of his life.<ref name="NYT">{{Citation|last=Morris|first=Bernadine|publication-date=1 December 1992|year=1992|title=Emilio Pucci, Designer of Bright Prints, Dies at 78|periodical=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE7D8173FF932A35751C1A964958260|access-date=22 April 2008}}</ref>

At the age of 17 Pucci traveled to [[Lake Placid, New York]], as part of the [[Italy at the 1932 Winter Olympics|Italian team]] at the [[1932 Winter Olympics]], where he did not compete. After two years at the [[University of Milan]],<ref name="NYT"/> he studied agriculture at the [[University of Georgia]] in [[Athens, Georgia]], United States.<ref name="CIA">{{cite web|url=https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/kent-csi/docs/v13i2a16p_0015.htm |title=The Ciano Papers: Rose Garden |last=McGaw Smyth |first=Howard |year=1969 |publisher=Central Intelligence Agency|access-date=23 April 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409175454/https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/kent-csi/docs/v13i2a16p_0015.htm|archive-date=9 April 2008}}</ref> In 1935, he was given a full scholarship to [[Reed College]] in [[Oregon]] in return for developing a college ski team.<ref name="ReedMagazine2014">{{cite journal |last1=Rendleman |first1=Raymond |title=Thinker.

==World War II==
In 1938, Pucci joined the [[Aeronautica Militare|Italian Air Force]], and served as an [[Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero|SM.79]] [[torpedo bomber]] pilot during World War II, rising to the rank of captain<ref name="NYT"/> and receiving decorations for valour.<ref name="CIA"/> During the war he became a confidant <!-- and lover?--> of [[Benito Mussolini]]'s eldest daughter, [[Edda Mussolini|Edda]],<ref name="CIA"/> and played a key role in a plan to save the life of her husband, Mussolini's former Foreign Minister, Count [[Galeazzo Ciano]], who was on trial for his part in the removal of Mussolini from power in 1943. The plan involved delivering some of Ciano's papers (which were highly critical of Mussolini) to the [[Gestapo]] so that they could be bartered for Ciano's life.<ref name="CIA"/>

After [[Adolf Hitler]] vetoed the scheme, Pucci drove Edda to the Swiss border on 9 January 1944 and ensured her escape.<ref name="CIA"/> Before departing, Edda wrote last pleas to Hitler, Mussolini, and General [[Wilhelm Harster]], the [[Sicherheitsdienst|SD]] commander in Italy, and Pucci delivered these letters to an intermediary. He then attempted to flee to Switzerland himself, but he was arrested and transported to San Vittore prison in Milan, where he was tortured by the Gestapo in a futile attempt to extract information. Pucci then managed to escape and reach Switzerland, where he remained until the end of the war.<ref name="ReedMagazine2014" />

The first clothes designed by Pucci were for the [[Reed College]] skiing team.<ref name="CIA"/> His designs came to wider attention in 1947, when he was on leave in [[Zermatt]], Switzerland. Skiwear that he had designed for a female friend was photographed by [[Toni Frissell]], a photographer working for ''[[Harper's Bazaar]]''. Frissell's editor asked Pucci to design skiwear for a story on European Winter Fashion, which ran in the winter 1948 issue of the ''Bazaar''.

Pucci was the first person to design a one-piece [[ski suit]].<ref>[http://snow-point.com/publ/one_piece_ski_suits/the_history_of_the_one_piece_ski_sui/2-1-0-2 The history of the one piece ski suit]</ref> Although there had been some experiments with stretch fabrics in Europe before the war, Pucci's sleek designs caused a sensation, and he received several offers from American manufacturers to produce them.<ref name="NYT"/> Instead, he left the Air Force and set up an [[haute couture]] house in the fashionable resort of Canzone del Mare on the [[Capri|Isle of Capri]].

Initially, he used his knowledge of stretch fabrics to produce a swimwear line in 1949, but he soon moved onto other items such as brightly coloured, boldly patterned silk scarves. [[Stanley Marcus]] of [[Neiman Marcus]] encouraged him to use the designs in blouses and then a popular line of wrinkle-free printed silk dresses.<ref name="NYT"/> Pucci presented his collection in the first fashion shows in Italy in 1950.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Withers |first1=Kay |title=Emilio Pucci a designer for all seasons |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/377377135/?terms=%22emilio%2Bpucci%22 |access-date=6 July 2020 |work=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=5 May 1972 |page=B1}}</ref> Pucci added a boutique in Rome as business thrived, helped by Capri's role as a destination for the international [[jet set]]. By the early 1950s, Pucci was achieving international recognition, receiving the Neiman-Marcus Award in Dallas and the [[Burdines]] Sunshine Award in Miami.

By the 1960s, Pucci was further thrust into greater status when [[Marilyn Monroe]] became a fan. She was photographed by George Barris in a number of Pucci's items in what would be some of her final photographs. After Monroe's death in 1962, she was interred wearing a Pucci dress.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/literature-and-arts/fashion-biographies/emilio-pucci|title=Pucci, Emilio |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia.com |last=Arnold|first=Rebecca|date=29 May 2018|access-date=26 July 2021}}</ref>

As the decade progressed his designs were worn by everyone from actress [[Sophia Loren]] to author [[Jacqueline Susann]] to First Lady [[Jackie Kennedy]], as well as later pop icons such as [[Madonna]]<ref name="espresso">{{Cite news|last=Attolico|first=Eleonora|publication-date=16 May 2007|year=2007|title=Buon compleanno maison Pucci 60 anni di moda innovativa|periodical=L'Espresso|publication-place=Rome|url=http://espresso.repubblica.it/dettaglio/Buon-compleanno-maison-Pucci-60-anni-di-moda-innovativa/1611724|access-date=23 April 2008|language=it|archive-date=19 March 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319061929/http://espresso.repubblica.it/dettaglio/Buon-compleanno-maison-Pucci-60-anni-di-moda-innovativa/1611724|url-status=dead}}</ref> during an early 1990s period of 60s revival.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Horyn |first1=Cathy |author-link=Cathy Horyn |title=Mod Squad |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=1991-03-31 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1991/03/31/mod-squad/32c6d418-f378-4562-96fa-81a417a08fed/ |access-date=2022-06-12 |quote=Pucci...has experienced an enormous revival in the past year [1990-91], with no small help from American fashion editors jumping on the Pucci bandwagon in their psychedelic leggings.}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Span |first1=Paula |title=Fashion Victims |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=1991-03-03 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/magazine/1991/03/03/fashion-victims/6263645f-f664-4334-bc22-d451f6093860/ |access-date=2022-06-12 |quote=Fashion types have been twittering for months about the '60s revival...[W]e face Pucci-style prints, flipped hair with headbands and two-inch swaths of eyeliner on each lid,...[h]iked hemlines and...go-go boots...}}</ref> Whenever the Sixties were revived in fashion, Pucci was likely to be referenced.<ref>{{cite news |title=From New York |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=1986-11-09 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1986/11/09/from-new-york/792b8545-2552-495d-95f7-c4311c11cd71/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |quote=With the '50s and '60s revival on the runways of New York comes the return of miniskirts, cutout clothes and, big surprise, Pucci-like prints.}}</ref> In fashion history, especially during the period of the 1950s and 1960s, Pucci was a perfect transition example between luxurious couture and ready-to-wear in Europe and the North America.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Fashion|last=Fukai|first=Akiko|publisher=[[Taschen]] |year=2002 |isbn=3-8228-1207-2 |location=Italy |pages=592–93, 719}}</ref>

In 1959, Pucci decided to create a [[lingerie]] line. His [[wikt:atelier|atelier]] in Rome advised him to develop the line abroad, avoiding the difficulties of a decade earlier in matching available fabrics to the patterns of his first swimwear line. As a result, Pucci came to [[Chicago]] giving the lingerie contract to [[Formfit]]-Rogers mills. The venture proved to be successful, and Pucci was made vice president in charge of design and merchandising for the company a year later.

In February 1959, he married Cristina Nannini from Rome, about whom he later remarked, "I married a [[Botticelli]]."<ref>{{Citation|last1=Settembrini|first1=Luigi|last2=Katell Le Bourhis|first2=Stefania Ricci|year=1996|title=Emilio Pucci ([[Florence Biennale]])|publisher=Skira Editore|isbn=978-88-8118-176-6 }}</ref> They had two children, Alessandro and Laudomia. Alessandro died in a car crash in 1998, six years after his father.

==Braniff Airways, NASA, and Lincoln==
In 1965, New York ad agency Jack Tinker and Associates was hired by [[Braniff International Airways]] to update their image. The agency's [[Mary Wells Lawrence|Mary Wells]] hired [[Alexander Girard]] to remodel the terminals, and Pucci to design new clothes for the hostesses.<ref name="2wice">{{Citation|last=Jacobs|first=Laura|publication-date=1998|title=Stewardesses|periodical=2wice|publication-place=East Hampton, NY|publisher=2wice Arts Foundation, Inc.|volume=2|issue=2|pages=26–33|url=http://www.2wice.org/issues/uniform/stew.html|access-date=19 December 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021219051134/http://www.2wice.org/issues/uniform/stew.html|archive-date=19 December 2002}}</ref> 

Pucci designed six complete collections for Braniff hostesses, pilots and ground crew between 1965 and 1974. By 1968 [[Barbie]] had versions of all of his first four uniforms.<ref name="2wice"/> These were designed as individual components to be added or removed as weather dictated. The uniforms included turtlenecks, T-shirts, crop jackets, and culottes.<ref name="2wice"/> Pucci incorporated Girard's "BI" logo into some of his prints.<ref name=Friedman>{{cite book|last=Friedman|first=Vanessa|title=Emilio Pucci Fashion Story|year=2010|publisher=Taschen/EmilioPucci/Emilio Pucci Foundation|location=Hohenzollernring|isbn=978-3-8365-0736-3|pages=312–319}}</ref>
[[Image:Apollo 15-insignia.png|thumb|100px|right]]

Pucci suggested the three bird motif for the design of the [[Apollo 15]] [[mission patch]].<ref name="espresso"/>

From 1976 to 1983, Pucci chose exterior and interior colors and trim for a special Pucci Edition of the [[Lincoln Mark series]] of automobiles for the luxury [[Lincoln Motor Company|Lincoln]] division of [[Ford Motor Company]] in the United States: a [[Lincoln Continental Mark IV|Mark IV]] in 1976,<ref>{{cite book |title=1976 Continental Mark IVx |url=http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1976_Lincoln/1976_Lincoln_Continental_Mark_IV_Brochure/1976%20Lincoln%20Continental%20Mark%20IV-02.html |location=Dearborn, Michigan |publisher=Lincoln Division, Ford Motor Company |date=1975-08-01 |access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref> a [[Lincoln Continental Mark V|Mark V]] from 1977<ref>{{cite book |title=1977 Continental Mark V |url=http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1977_Lincoln/1977_Continental_Mark_V_Brochure/1977%20Continental%20Mark%20V-15.html |location=Dearborn, Michigan |publisher=Lincoln Division, Ford Motor Company |date=1976-08-01 |pages=14–15 |access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref> to 1979,<ref>{{cite book |title=1979 Continental Mark V |url=http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1979%20Lincoln/1979%20Continental%20Mark%20V%20Brochure/1979%20Continental%20Mark%20V-11.html |location=Dearborn, Michigan |publisher=Lincoln Division, Ford Motor Company |date=1978-08-01 |pages=10–11 |access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref> and a [[Lincoln Continental Mark VI|Mark VI]] from 1980 to 1983,<ref>{{cite book |title=1983 Lincoln – Mark VI – Continental |url=http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1983%20Lincoln/1983%20Lincoln%20Full%20Line%20Brochure/image10.html |location=Dearborn, Michigan |publisher=Lincoln Division, Ford Motor Company |date=1982-08-01 |pages=18–19 |access-date=2022-06-12}}</ref> the details of the design changing slightly each year.

==Political career==
Pucci contested the [[Province of Florence|Florence]]–[[Province of Pistoia|Pistoia]] district for the [[Italian Liberal Party]] in the [[Italian general election, 1963|Italian election of April 1963]]. He came second on their slate with 2,780 votes behind [[Vittorio Fossombroni]], and the party won one seat.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elezionistorico.interno.it/candidatodilista.php?tp=C&dt=28/04/1963&cta=I&tpEnte=I&tpSeg=C&numEnte=14&sut1=&sut2=&sut3=&descEnte=%20Circoscrizione:%20FIRENZE-PISTOIA&descArea=&numLista=2&descLista=PLI |title=Elezioni della Camera dei Deputati del 28 Aprile 1963 Circoscrizione: Firenze-Pistoia |publisher=Ministry of the Interior, Italy |access-date=23 April 2008 |language=it }}{{dead link|date=May 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> He succeeded Fossombroni in the [[Italian Chamber of Deputies]] in August of that year.<ref name="CIA"/><!-- it.wiki article on the parliament says Foss was in office until 6/Aug (died??) and Pucci succeeded on 17/Sept ???? -->

After Emilio Pucci's death in 1992, his daughter, Laudomia Pucci, continued to design under the Pucci name. The French [[LVMH]] luxury goods empire acquired 67% of Pucci in 2000.<ref name="espresso"/> Laudomia became Image Director, while LVMH brought in major designers such as [[Christian Lacroix]] (creative director 2002–2005), and in October 2005, [[Matthew Williamson]],<ref name="espresso"/> and Peter Dundas from 2009.{{citation needed|date=January 2016}}

Emilio Pucci clothes and accessories are sold through Emilio Pucci and [[Skis Rossignol|Rossignol]] boutiques worldwide, and in high-end department stores designed by {{Ill|Lena Pessoa|fr|Lena Pessoa|vertical-align=sup}}. The items mostly feature the designer's original brightly coloured, often swirly, prints or new designs in his original distinct style. The fashion house produces ready-to-wear clothes and accessories for women, in addition to a small range of men's accessories. In the past, the house has produced a more comprehensive range of men's wear, including a line in partnership with [[Ermenegildo Zegna Group|Ermenegildo Zegna]], which included men's jackets lined with Pucci printed fabric, especially for American department store [[Saks Fifth Avenue]]. A limited-edition Pucci carrying case for the [[PlayStation Portable]] handheld gaming system was marketed by Sony as a high-end accessory on their PlayStation Signature line.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Block|first=Ryan|date=29 May 2006|title=Sony's PlayStation Signature line of accessories|url=https://www.engadget.com/2006-05-29-sonys-playstation-signature-line-of-accessories.html|access-date=6 July 2020|website=Engadget|language=en}}</ref>
