PUCCI Fall Winter 25, PASSEPARTOUT Collection Presentation by Camille Miceli
A new journey” is how Camille Miceli, Pucci’s Artistic Director, defines the Florentine House’s new direction. Focusing on a modern way of thinking, living and moving, well beyond style, she has reinvented an ultra-contemporary way of dressing, deeply rooted in the history of the House of Pucci.
PassepARTout? A nod to the entertaining Italian TV series (2001-11] hosted by Philippe Daverio, who explored culture across time, unlocking stories about art and history in Italy and around the world that proved rich source material for fashion.
Here, an ‘all-access’ collection where every look makes an entrance. “I can imagine a woman arriving to a gallery or a club”, says Camille Miceli. “Maybe she buys a Picasso, maybe she dances all night. This season, I really wanted to channel the impression that wearing Pucci opens doors – the feeling that anything is possible.
Archive prints are re-edited and as dynamic as ever. Labirinto (1969] is a Ihythmic pattern of irregular shapes resembling leopard spots when in a black, beige and gold scheme. Istrice (1957) alternates between rounded and jagged lines for a groovy motif in shades of fuchsia, red and purple. Collane (1970) appears in a vertical groove of circles and diamonds. Volute has an elongated effect, both soaring and suggestive. Astro, with its spiral graphic, was among Emilio Pucci’s favourite prints for caftans. Hawaii (1969) bursts like a solar symbol against a solid backdrop.
And finally, the swimming pool hues of turquoise and blue in fresh terry separates that are meant for days under the sun. From shoes to bags, surfaces and details highlight Pucci signatures. Contrasts of matte and shiny catch the eye on Marmo bags in baguette and hobo styles as well as thigh-high boots, while small day-to-night bags return in Labirinto nylon or in bright red as a bracelet shape.
The angular heel is back as a chunkier version with chains that adorn the foot. Jewellery projects express different personalities, from chains to bold, captivating creations resembling a curving horn. Handmade leather flowers as brooches, bag charms and embossed belts create countless ways to make Pucci a unique statement. Scarves, always iconic, span classic silk squares to slim and embellished with gold chain.
Extending from the season’s wardrobe to its lifestyle objects, Pucci offers a Jewellery box in the new Iride colouway of purple, orange and pink, along with an umbrella in the same nuances that can be worn cross-body. And of course, a neck pillow for relaxing poolside. Like the program Passepartout, several themes and ideas converge in a collection where imagination shines from every angle. And of course, Naomi shines in Pucci, too.
