Gorgeous Spring 2015 Emilio Pucci by Peter Dundas Runway Look 36 Tie Dye Beaded Silk Chiffon Dress
- The twin of this dress walked the runway for Look 36 of the Spring 2015 collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Peter Dundas.
- In the coverage for this collection, Vogue said that Peter Dundas "understands the value of power casting; he had Naomi Campbell in his lineup for the first time today. Ogling the models is understandable enough – they are inches from your eyeballs at the Palazzo Serbelloni venue. But if you do, you might miss the artisanal details at Dundas has made as much a contemporary Pucci signature as the Florentine house's famous archival prints."
- They also specifically tie dye dresses saying that "if they look like the real thing, that's because the prince were based on get your hand, dirty trial and error." I love that we know that these were all specifically developed and done by hand!
- I love that the runway photos and video show you just how gorgeous this is on the body and how it moves.
- The tie dye is done on an ultra light-in-weight silk chiffon with the upper bodice covered in a mix of domed silver studs embroidery sequins and bead work all done by hand.
- The upper bodice has a yoked front that extends down into a curve point and scoops at the neck line. The straps curved around at the front on either side of the neck and then trail down the outside of your back to meet the top of a low scoop there that leaves your back bare and exposed.
- It is covered in silver dome beads, and then has a pretty pattern that mixes flowers with pink mirrored parts, beadwork embroidery and more various sized silver beads.
- Where that attaches into the dress there are little bits of nude netting with a silk ladder pattern and I love this little unexpected bit of skin that it allows to show through the net.
- There are many many yards of that fantastic feather light silk chiffon used for the dress. It is set on gathered angled panels that skims over the bust and around to the back.
- Two layers of tie dye chiffon are set in under that and these opens out over the waist and hips and just continue to become wider so that it is extremely full by the hem.
- I love how the front is cut shorter, and then the back swooped out to trail behind. This cut helps the silk to pick up any air at all and out around you. You can see that in the video on the runway.
- The print on the silk combines a beautiful pattern that ranges from deep to soft corals and a purple to a periwinkle.
- I love that the tie-dye on both layers have been matched so you get a print on print depth that would not exist otherwise if they had not done it this way. It is very beautiful.
- The skirt has a third layer of a nude silk chiffon underneath the top two tie dyed layers that keeps it very light still 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 top part of bodice is backed in a matching coral silk and the skirt has three layers as described above. It closes at the back. with a hidden set zipper. The fabric is signed throughout. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.
