1960s Tropical Emilio Pucci Top & Skirt Set designer-paco-rabanne The skirt is extraordinary -

The skirt is extraordinary - it is knife pleated from top to bottom so there is a fabulous play on the lame thread that is woven through the fabric

John Kloss who was an Ossie Clark contemporary and I love his work

The shoulders are very pretty and unusual - the seam actually sits above the bust and the fabric goes over the shoulders and the sleeves are rounded

Over this are rows of tube beads that give the entire caftan a bit of glitz and glam

The inside silk lining is immaculate and the abundance of seam work is wonderful to see

1960s Tropical Emilio Pucci Top & Skirt Set designer-paco-rabanne The skirt is extraordinary -I love these sets from the legendary Emilio Pucci. They are a classic and so versatile since you are getting two amazing pieces in one shot. Plus they makes you think of far off tropical luxuries & lazy days spent by oceans with umbrella topped drinks in hand. Both of the pieces in this ensemble are superbly simple in cut, allowing the beauty of that custom print to shine. The colors are beautiful ocean, tropical blue hues a mix of turquoise
