Pucci, Emilio, marquess di Barsento

    0.05 sec.

Pucci, Emilio, marquess di Barsento

(born Nov. 20, 1914, Naples, Italy—died Nov. 29, 1992, Florence) Italian fashion designer and politician. He became a designer when a fashion photographer for Vogue noticed his original ski outfit and asked him to design women's ski clothes. He is best known for his tight shantung “Pucci pants” and vividly printed silk dresses and blouses. His colourful, less formal uniforms for Braniff flight attendants were the first of their kind. Later he branched into men's fashions, perfume, and ceramics. He was a member of the Italian Parliament (1963–72).
