Spring 2010 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Runway Look 24 Blue Printed Silk Chiffon & Sequin Dress

• The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 24 of the Spring 2010 collection.
• It was made under the creative direction of Peter Dundas. 
• I love that the runway photos and video show you just how gorgeous this is on the body and how it moves. We also found a reference photo from an editorial that really shows how much fabric has gone into making this dress.
• In the coverage for this collection, Vogue said that Peter Dundas turned out a sizzling collection for spring summer... "it is, of course the season the house was made for having been established on jet Capri in the 1960s, but it also doesn't hurt that Donda is an avid scuba diver. The underwater universe produced some aqueous prints.. there were some gorgeous shades of blue... backstage Dundas said he wanted to work with easier and loosen up the silhouettes a bit, but there's little doubt that his Pucci girl remains a predator shark type."
• The dress combines an ultra light-in-weight silk chiffon with sequins that cover the very upper bodice and straps.
• The upper bodies has a racer back cut to it. The straps curved around at the front on either side of the neck and then it meets at a middle panel that leaves the sides of your back bare and exposed
  
• There are many yards of a fantastic feather light silk chiffon used for the dress and it all falls from the sequin straps. It skims over the bust, opens out over the waist and hips, so that it is extremely full by the hem.
• The print on it is exactly what Vogue described when they talked about his love for the ocean. Beautiful soft colours in blues, turquoise and pale purple mixed with a variation of a classic Pucci print swirl over the dress. It has been deliberately treated so that it has a underlying very light tie-dye effect that runs over the fabric behind the top print. It is very beautiful.
• The front is scooped and this bit of bareness at the top perfectly balances out the fullness as the dress falls to the floor
• The skirt has a second layer of an ivory silk chiffon underneath the top printed layer that keeps it still very light but gives it a touch of opaqueness so that it can be worn without being too transparent.
• There is a tremendous amount of fabric in the skirt. The lightness of the silk layers have phenomenal movement around you as you move.
• The dress is one of my favourites of all the modern pieces of Pucci that I have seen and the era that Peter Dundas was the creative director at Pucci is 100% my favourite of the modern predecessors to Emilio.
• The sequin part of the top is backed in a black silk and then the rest of the dress is lined in a second layer of ivory silk chiffon. It zips to close at one side with a hidden set zipper. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. The bias cut of it and easy open fit should allow it to fit a range of sizes.
