Dating to 1965, this Emilio Pucci piece was originally designed to be worn as a beach jacket over a swimsuit but does double duty as a mini dress. Crafted from soft & touchable terry towelling in shades of turquoise, velvet, lime & fuchsia, this is signed with the Emilio signature in the print and features a v-neckline, cropped sleeves & a full length zipper running down the front. Made in Italy, this is a rare early piece by the designer & highly collectible. A silk dress with the same print is held in the permanent collection of The Met Museum's Costume Institute.
