- Pucci, Emilio - With his extremely brightly coloured geometric or wavy patterns, the designs of Italian nobleman, fashion designer and politician, Emilio Pucci (1914-1992) became iconic during the 1960s.

As with many popular designs, there were copies, both contemporary and modern. Genuine pieces should include a ‘Emilio’ signature, denoting it is an authentic Pucci piece.
