1960s Emilio Pucci Purple Turquoise Velvet Terry Romper Cover-Up

Easily recognizable by his extravagant prints on light, fluid fabrics, Emilio Pucci slowly rose to notable success following World War II. Having launched his designs with an attention given to stretch and contour in Italy, Pucci eventually relocated to the US. Pucci’s acumen for creating with unique fabrics led him to great public notoriety and career success. Made from a richly colored velveteen, this 1960s romper showcases Pucci’s textile curation. It is done in mesmerizing shades of violet, plum, lavender, and turquoise.
