Celebrity Coleen McLoughlin was out by the pool this weekend wearing the fantastic new Emilio Pucci “605S” sunglass. Emilio Pucci clothes and accessories are sold through Emilio Pucci and Rossignolboutiques worldwide and in high-end department stores, mostly feature the designer’s original brightly coloured, often swirly, prints or new designs in his original distinct style. The fashion house produces ready-to-wear clothes and accessories for women, in addition to a small range of men’s accessories. The Pucci brand become very popular in the 1950’s and Marilyn Monroe was buried with one of his dresses, and his designs were worn by everyone from Sophia Loren to Jackie Kennedy. After Emilio’s death in 1992 his daughter, Laudomia Pucci, continued to design under the Pucci name. The French Louis Vuitton-Moet-Hennessy Group luxury goods empire acquired 67% of Pucci in 2000. Laudomia became Image Director, whilst LVMH brought in major designers such as Christian Lacroix (creative director 2002-5), and in October 2005, Matthew Williamson. Other designers who have worked for the label include Stephan Janson and Julio Espada.
