Emilio Pucci by Massimo Giorgietti

When Dundas left Emilio Pucci for the Cavalli gig, it took MSGM founder Massimo Giorgetti’s career to new heights, as he was appointed Creative Director of the Florentine maison. Back in June, Giorgietti gave us a taste of what to expect from his version of Pucci, in a capsule collection titled “The Pilot Episode”, presented at Pitti Immagine Uomo. This fashion week however, he’ll give us the real deal. Whether it will be similar to the sexy Emilio Pucci glamour we’ve become accustomed to over the years – or if he’ll revamp the brand in a way Alessandro Michele did at Gucci – is the million dollar question.
