Emilio
Pucci was once a jack of all trades, working as a wine maker, a fighter
pilot, and an Olympic skater, until the day he became a fashion phenomenon
that is.

The Pucci label was established in 1947 by Emilio
Pucci. Often referred to as the 'Prince of Prints' Emilio quickly became one
of the most recognizable designer labels on the international market. From
clothing to carpets, Pucci has created an empire of haute couture styles and
designs readily available for consumers.
There is a saying that
whatever the Italians do, they do it in style. Perhaps that is why some of
the best known designers in the world are of Italian origin. Focusing on
fashion, we have the likes of Versace, Armani, and Ferre. One more titan in
the world of fashion design is Emilio Pucci. The stylistic and unique
apparel and accessories he had created over the years have won him critical
acclaim and commercial success the world over. In fact, vintage Pucci
sunglasses and apparel are still highly regarded today.
Pucci started his ascent to
stardom during the post-World War II era, a vanguard in the world of fashion
for men and women experimenting with various styles and taste during the
period. His love of color is seen not only in clothing, but also in vintage
Pucci sunglasses. Many of the classic eyewear he designed during the 1960s
shows his eclectic taste: there is one pair that sports patterns of
lavender, purple, aqua, periwinkle, and turquoise in the frame. Another
example from the 1960s is a pair of oversized sunglasses, with a funky frame
in blue and white – the epitome of the outrageous glamour that characterized
the period.
Classic eyewear pieces from
Pucci in the 1970s are just as stylish. For instance, he designed a
wraparound pair of sunglasses sporting a psychedelic frame of gold, purple,
and fuchsia – perfect for the age of disco. Another classic released circa
1972 is a pair of shades that has the signature Pucci color mix in the
frame: black, purple, blue, and teal. These sunglasses have the signature
Emilio Pucci mark at the sides of the frames. Those in mint condition bring
high prices – upwards of US$200 – attesting to the continuing appeal of
Pucci’s style among collectors with eclectic yet discerning taste.
Vintage Pucci sunglasses can
be acquired via Internet sites specializing in memorabilia, online auction
sites, or other collectors themselves. Or if a person is simply content to
admire and not acquire, he or she can do so via exhibitions of Pucci’s work.
An example is an exhibition held at the Phoenix Art Museum in Arizona from
July to November 2005. It is a testament to the creativity of this late,
great designer, who has influenced countless people from celebrities to
fellow fashion designers. To behold a pair of vintage Pucci sunglasses is to
be a witness to the greatness of one person’s fantastic imagination and
creativity.
With
exclusive boutiques in the likes of Beverly Hills, Palm Beach, Paris, Saint
Tropez and Milan, Pucci is very much a high-fashion brand. Since the late
1940s, the Pucci label has been dazzling the fashion world with their bright
and colourful, swirly, eye-catching designs. Pucci sunglasses, like all
things Pucci, are chic, playful and definitely not for the faint-hearted.
Pucci sunglasses are manufactured to the very highest standards, with
world-famous Carl Zeiss lenses providing 100% UV protection.
Silverberg Opticians offer a comprehensive collection of Pucci sunglasses.
The influence of the latest Pucci print designs (Love, Ashbury, Quadratini,
Ceramiche) and the brand's iconic Vivara print can be seen in this range of
truly astonishing sunglasses.
