Emilio Pucci Runway Dress - RTW Fall 2013 - Closing Show Piece, Look 44 HIGHLIGHTS: documented runway closing look • elaborate mixed-media construction • Peter Dundas era • exceptional condition An archival piece documented as the final look of Pucci’s Fall/Winter 2013 runway under Peter Dundas. Its mixed-media construction is built around contrasts: hand-contoured lambskin inlays, lace placed over nude silk, sheer tulle panels, and glass-bead embroidery set one by one into an Art-Nouveau-inspired geometry. The materials sit on the body in a sculptural, almost armour-like way, with the nude lining creating a calm “exposed skin” effect. The workmanship - layered, meticulous, deliberately slow - is characteristic of the runway pieces Pucci produced in very limited numbers during this period. A distinct example of the darker, gothic-romantic direction that defined Dundas’ early 2010s Pucci. CONDITION: Excellent pre-owned condition. No visible defects on lace, tulle or leather inlays. Silk lining intact. No odour issues. SIZE: S / IT 40 / FR 36 | shoulders 37 cm - chest 44 - waist 36 - hips 45- sleeve 65- length 79 (+ additional 5 cm hem allowance inside) PROVENANCE & SIGNIFICANCE The dress represents a key moment in Dundas’ redefinition of Pucci’s visual language - a shift towards darker sensuality and gothic-romantic drama that shaped the house’s early-2010s identity. The Art-Nouveau-influenced geometry reflects Dundas’ interest in ornamental anatomy, a theme now echoed in contemporary couture and body-mapping design. Runway pieces built with this degree of manual layering were produced in small numbers because of the slow, layered construction process, which explains why garments from this specific show appear rarely outside archival contexts.
