The Marchese di Barsento
Emilio Pucci was an italian fashion designer, who took place over the skiing on his vocation. 1934 he was a member of the olympic team. His first designs were uniforms for the team members.
With his colourful, psychedelic prints earl Pucci was one of the characteristic designers of the 1960s. Especially the jet set loved the glamorous robes of the fashion. He dedicated the costume jewellery just to his fashion shows to complete the shrill presentation of his models. The pieces were hardly in trade and are therefore rare.
