Emilio Pucci obviously I think it’s one of the best houses in Italy – and one of the most legendary ones as well. That’s why I came here. I also like the idea of working with a house that has a history that you can collaborate and exchange ideas with in the way you would with another person.

House

Legendary

Thinking

Florence is probably one of the most beautiful cities in Italy. It’s very quiet as well – there’s not much nightlife – so it definitely keeps me focused on the work.

Quiet

For me, coming to a fashion house and bringing my love and respect to it – and, hopefully, earning the love and respect of the house – is the only way to do it. I think of it as my own house in that sense as well. So I like not working from a blank piece of paper. I like that there’s something from the past, some kind of identity that I have to work with. There are these good ghosts around, these good energies that kind of reinforce what you do.

Fashion

Past

Thinking

I feel like I have to go back to Paris every so often. It just grows on you – the look of the city, the way people hang out there. If you’re in Europe, it’s good for that.

Hanging Out

People

I spend tons of time on the music for the fashion shows. I work with this DJ, Jeremy Healy, and we do, like, four or five sessions during the week leading up to the show where we put the music together.

Fashion

Together

Week

I think a lot of people, when they think about the house, they think of the print. But when people think about Emilio Pucci, I want them to think about this really, really hot girl, so my biggest job is to give her a face and an identity – and I do that by trying to associate that kind of print that people have in their minds with a kind of girl who is free-spirited, rebellious, a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, and who has a lot of energy, who is up.

Girl

People

Thinking

I think my biggest muses in fashion are probably rock ‘n’ roll girlfriends, like Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull and Bianca Jagger – and then maybe Patti Smith a bit as well.

Fashion

Girlfriend

Thinking

I want Pucci woman to be a Pucci girl. That’s number one, because I think she should have that vibe that corresponds with today. Emilio Pucci – the house is, I think, 63 years old now. It’s an old house. The Pucci woman from the beginning would be 80 years old or something today, so I’ve kind of had to update her.

Girl

House

Thinking

I’m incapable of functioning without music. I’ve always had it in my life. I played the violin when I was a kid, and my mother was a violinist at that point, so it’s always been important to me in one way or another. When I work, there’s always music cranking.

Mother

I’m not intellectual at all as a designer. Whatever I’m into at the moment is usually what becomes the collection.
