I have always been a fan of the classic printed collections by Emilio Pucci. It is fabulous Italian elegance and the collections are so 1960s yet incredibly modern at the same time. Once again, British designer Matthew Williamson has created the latest collection for summer, inspired heavily by the lovely island of Capri.
The mix of gorgeous light colors of sea, salt and sun works wonders for their chic floaty mini dresses and silky jet-set wear. And Capri has incidently also been the home of the Pucci brand for the past 40 years. Bring on summertime!
