Happy Birthday Pucci

The house of Pucci turns 60 this year. To celebrate, none else but the requisite parties will be taking place this weekend in the house's city of origin, Florence, at the grand Palazzo Pucci. I am actually quite a Pucci fan and am happy to see the house reign. I wish Pucci un altro cento anni!

I found these Pucci dresses from the sixties, what a resemblance to the silk dress from the spring/summer 2007 collection, not only is the print similar and keeping with the classic swirls, but so is the silhouette. It seems as though Matthew Williamson has been doing his homework. Available at netaporter.com.
