Camille Miceli continues to push the boundaries of the exuberant Italian house while staying true to archival prints and a vaguely 70s inspiration.
Do you remember Surya Bonaly, the incredible French skater who did a backflip at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Japan? Camille Miceli certainly does, which is why she included some skater-style jersey dresses and some adorned with sequins in her energetic fall collection for Pucci.
“She was a very free and brave woman,” Miceli enthusiastically commented about Bonaly, known for her colorful outfits, bold athletic prowess, and for paving the way for more Black skaters. (During her time at Chanel, Gilles Dufour introduced Miceli to the sport, and she was hooked.)
Miceli shares some of Bonaly’s courage, daring to take Pucci into a variety of new territories while remaining anchored in the Italian brand’s exuberant prints and its jet-set style that reached its peak in the 70s, an era the Franco-Italian designer adores.
Flared pants, maxi skirts, sheer blouses, and form-fitting jumpsuits with vivid prints create an extravagant image, also inspired by the flamboyant outfits of Prince, another cultural figure who pushed boundaries and whom Miceli mentioned.
