It's good to cleanse one's palette at times... Freshen the tastes and then you are able to sample the rest of what the menu has to offer with a Refreshed View and Perspective. More importantly, To do all that aforementioned cleansing, the Cleanser in question needs to be Very good, Or else you Dull what you have tasted before with something Uninspired, Boring, Insipid!
For Fall 2014, Peter Dundas for his Vehicle of Sexy Excess. Emilio Pucci, was certainly in Palate Cleanser Frame of Mind, at least it would seem. Swirling, Whirling Prints did they abound, Yes. Crystals and Beads and Stud Aplenty, You Know It. Raw Hot Sex Appeal on Heels... Did you have any Doubt? But there was something more Pared down, less Frenetic about the Prints, which for the first time in a few seasons were more Obeisant to the Pucci Archive, Something a little more Sensual that Sexual! It made for a Beautifully Judged Collection and one that is Bound to touch the hearts of more than the Usual Pucci Heroine!
As the show started. Dundas was in Fine form with some Intricate Beading and Printing and Studding all over the place, but there was Subtlety to it that didn't Scream as is sometimes the case, Maybe because the prints weren't as loud usual and the beading and Studding was more monochrome. Whatever the case. There was an Obvious lack of Razzmatazz here. This extended to less prints in general, but when in use, were much more "Pucci" than as of late.
Another thing, This was a much more covered up collection than in the past. Lots of Beautiful Coats and Furs to keep one warm and even some Blanket/Poncho Dressing to keep things Interesting and throw in that Typiqument Rich Hippy feeling! A Screaming Carrot Orange Fur Pullover tunic at Exit No. 15 was one of those showpieces that was meant to steal the spotlight but could also translate into the Real and Everyday lives of Women. It was also around this point that you began to see how Pulled back this collection was with the exits that followed that left Flash and Dazzle in the back rooms.
The last few Evening items did go Balls Out Exuberant with the Lavish Beading, But... Hey, This IS Pucci. So it was Expected and Welcome. The Exit On Devon Windsor (No. 44) was Cleopatra worthy with it's Old Gold studding and embroidery. Dundas proved with no Shadow of Doubt in play that he can Whisper just as Softly as he can Shout Loudly. This assemblage was a welcome respite from the usual while still being 100% Pucci. If this is the way things are going to be going forward at the house, I am all for it. But something tells me Peter Dundas will be up to his old tricks Next Season and Bedazzling us Once More. There's still so much at the Buffet to Sample!
That's All.
Bye4Now!
