Pucci Runway Spring 2008
What impresses me each season about Pucci is the way they continue to be modern while reaching back to vintage Pucci touches in their use of color, prints, and classic shapes.
For Spring/Summer 2008, designer Matthew Williamson went digging in the crates of classic Pucci and added swingy fringe, bold embellishments and chunky jewelry. One look that made me swoon was a gold mini-dress with a smattering of mosaic-like tiles at the neck and around the hem.
He paired more modern gold lame and sequins with the vintage shift and mini shapes and then remixed Pucci’s juicy color bursts of tangerine, aquamarine into feathered and fringed minis or one-shoulder maxidresses. Williamson’s suede shoulder bags carried geometric shapes, more tiles, and dreamcatcher inspired decorations.
Some posh girls might find these looks hard to wear in their everyday lives, but the Pucci girl is an eternal bohemian and this collection remained totally true to her.

Pucci is definitely a favorite designer of mine - always vibrant and colorful - although I think I might like last year’s spring collection better.

I think I like this collection a little bit better over last year’s Spring collection. I really like the slightly ethnic vibe that he has going this year and I love each of the gold minidresses he did.
I always love Pucci though, so its hard to choose one collection over another.
