Pucci’s Palio Collection

Our new image of the month is an exquisite silhouette from Emilio Pucci’s 1957 Palio Collection. This collection was inspired by the biannual horse race held in Siena and took form in prints infused with aspects of glamourous Italian life.

The cotton dress above is one of the highlights of Palio Collection. The colours and patterns represent the coat of arms of each “Contrade” (district) of Siena: “Civetta”, “Lupa”, “Montone”, “Chiocciola”, “Giraffa”, “Torre”, “Bruco” and “Oca”.

These coats of arms were to be found in the costumes and flags of each district, but Emilio Pucci reworked the prints  into scarves, shirts, trousers and dresses. Each print was an intricate combination of up to ten different colors. The prints were prominent in his 1950s designs and earned Pucci the Neiman Marcus award in 1957.
