The 10 Most Critically Acclaimed Shows of Milan Fashion Week



Emilio Pucci
Designer: Peter Dundas

  • “It was a naughty little show, but quite a relief from the Goth fashion prevalent on the current Milan runway.” [AP]
  • “This collection got to the very essence of Pucci and the House’s 1960s heyday–carefree and ultra-glamorous.” [ELLEuk.com]
  • “The theory being, it seemed, why use one ingredient when 10 (or 12, or 15) can make the point better?” [FT.com]
  • “A hit–a palpable hit! The leggy antelopelike models bounded down the catwalk, tossing their heads under long fringes, their tops lacy, their skirts silken squares with those irrepressible Emilio Pucci prints.” [International Herald Tribune]
  • “The fast paced Pucci show felt like designer Peter Dundas’s models were in a hurry to get to a party.” [NOWFASHION]
  • “Peter Dundas’s Emilio Pucci girl is always sexy, but this season, the designer kicked it up a notch.” [POPSUGAR Fashion]
  • “There was both ‘less is more’ and ‘more is more’ at work on the Pucci runway. Less clothing, but more embellishments. So hemlines, whether on skirts or micro shorts, skimmed the thigh and dipped at the back, while lingerie-like dresses came decorated to the max with suede applique, collages and embroidery.” [SHOWstudio]
  • “Emilio himself might’ve been impressed with the math skills required to create the fringed minidress with its green and lavender leopard-print pattern. More to the point, it’ll be a kick to wear.” [Style.com]
  • “Thank goodness that someone–that would be you, Peter Dundas of Emilio Pucci–has realized that when it comes to this fall, ostentation and opulence are best served in short measures.” [Vogue.com]
  • “The key to Peter Dundas’ success at Pucci has been bridging the gap between its past and its future–something which he more overtly illustrated with his autumn/winter 2013-14 collection this evening, going back into the archives to revive the Otto print and bring it back to life with his own injection of sex appeal and glamour.” [Vogue.com UK]
  • “Call it potently Pucci. For fall, Peter Dundas delivered a strong iteration of the brand icons, employing the famous signature prints with panache and sexiness.” [WWD]
