Emilio Pucci in America
Oct 18, 2014 - Feb 01, 2015
Inspired by Emilio Pucci's brief tenure as a student in horticulture at the University of Georgia in 1935, this exhibition celebrates the Italian designer's time in the United States and his 100th birthday. It will include information about Pucci's ties to UGA; his work in Portland, Ore., where he designed his first clothes, uniforms for the Reed College ski team; his collaborations with U.S manufacturers, including White Stag and Formfit Rogers; his flight attendant uniform designs for Braniff Airlines; and his design for NASA's Apollo XV space patch. A selection of quintessential Pucci gowns, lingerie, sportswear and swimwear from the collection of Phoenix Art Museum will demonstrate how Pucci's experience in the U.S. inspired his preference for comfortable, easy-to-wear fashion.
