The world thinks of Emilio Pucci (1914–1992) as a fashion designer. That was only one facet of Pucci’s life and career. He led a vibrant life. He earned degrees from U.S. and Italian universities and designed the patch for the Apollo 15 mission. Creativity was baked into the Pucci family’s heritage.
Written by husband-and-wife team Terence Ward and Idanna Pucci (who is also Pucci’s niece), “Emilio Pucci: The Astonishing Odyssey of a Fashion Icon” recounts Pucci’s very full life.
