Emilio Pucci and Orlebar Brown announce their brand collaboration for Spring 2015.
The twenty piece collection for men and women re-connects Pucci with its roots in resort-style menswear, and for Orlebar Brown explores the timeless allure of the Italian jet set.

Featuring small geometrics pulled from the Pucci archives, the patterns re-open the doors to an exciting and less visible period in Pucci’s great print history.

Though the colour blocking and magnetic swirls of the 1950s and 1960s are today the best known of the Marquis Emilio Pucci’s expansive print oeuvre, these unusual, tightly formatted graphics - from the late 1960s and 70s - offer a totally fresh approach to the house’s signature pattern.
