Pucci Pancho

From NYTIMES article on Emilio Pucci:
“Mediterranean, color, positive vibrations, radiance, with a clear elegance,” he says. One day Pucci mentioned that she loved the smell of a place in Turkey where the coast fell into the sea and the trees almost had their roots in the seawater, a mix of wood, sea breeze and fresh air, so Demachy specified patchouli and vetiver for the woody signature and certain synthetic molecules for the scent of the ocean. He kept its chypre heritage but twisted it in a modern way, finally adding galbanum to the top of the scent’s structure to make it less “tender.”

The galbanum is the key. Here is a miraculous material that is at once retro — the perfume of a woman having her hair done in a 1958 beauty salon — and, in its oddly elegant green abstractness, futuristic. Laudomia made sure of it. She had gone through draft after draft. And just as she had at age 3, Emilio’s daughter finally said, “This is the one.”
I am soo ecstatic to announce that I am the new face of the Pucci campaign! I mean, how else would I be able to afford all of the panchos, pants, leggings and throws?? They saw me and they knew - Pucci was made for me and I was made for Pucci. We are a match made in print paradise - and my energy and verve is exactly what they need to revitalize the brand and give it back it's nine lives. Sayanora small goverment town, The Riviera calls. Throwing out every single last item of clothing and revamping the boudoir with pure pucci design. New tattoo? PUCCI. Pay in the pats on the back people- pop the question - pucci time!
