Emilio Pucci, a Florentine aristocrat, began his fashion career in 1947. He started his business at his family home parazzo, and opened his boutique in Capri in 1950. With brilliant prints making use of the advanced Italian techniques, he swept the world, starting from the U.S. market. His dresses or "Parazzo pajamas" made of light and thin silk georgette, silk tricot, "crêpe de Chine" were favored by jet setters all over the world.
