Pucci’s Parade: Camille Miceli's Celebration of Prints, Pop and Playful Glamour in the New Collection

Amelia Gray wears the new AW24 Pucci body-hugging activewear in the fashion house's print. 

Pucci’s Autumn/Winter 2024 collection, under the creative direction of Camille Miceli, delivers an exhilarating burst of color and style, aptly titled Parade. With Amelia Gray as the face of the campaign, the collection marches to a rhythm of its own, blending Pucci codes with fresh energy. Miceli has crafted a visual kaleidoscope where prints collide with sleek silhouettes, and urban polish meets romantic pop-rock. This season is all about freedom, boldness, and playful sophistication, writes Antonio Visconti. Photographs by Johnny Dufort

Vibrant colour and Pucci prints 
pop when contrasted against black 
CAMILLE Miceli has infused Pucci’s signature exuberance with a dynamic twist in the Parade collection, drawing from two seemingly contrasting inspirations: the opulent stage costumes of Prince and the ethereal grace of figure skating attire. 

This interplay between flamboyance and fluidity defines the collection, which deftly balances masculine and feminine elements.

From taffeta balloon sleeves and A-line skirts to sleek jersey dresses trimmed with iconic Pucci prints, the collection embraces a wide array of silhouettes. 

Ultra-slim suits shimmer with glittery stripes, while body-hugging statement pieces echo the activewear aesthetic. It’s a playful dance of structure and fluidity that captures the essence of contemporary glamour.

A Trio of Moods: City, Sea and Sunset

Miceli’s new collection traverses three distinct stylistic moods. Late Summer in the City kicks off the collection with a bold reintroduction of the Orchidee print, alongside Pucci classics like Marmo and Iride. These rhythmic, colorful patterns are set against dark backdrops, highlighting their energy in a cityscape setting. Fluid jersey tops, tailored trousers, and dresses with halter and high-neck styles bring a sense of movement and urban sophistication.

are striking yet relate back to
Pucci's storied design past
High Summer by the Sea offers a playful, sun-drenched vibe with a palette of juicy oranges, pinks, and limes. These beachy pieces exude effortless cool, featuring breezy caftans, sleeveless draped tops, and asymmetrical swimsuits. 

Signature Pucci motifs such as Orchidee and Festa take centre stage on light, flowing garments made for resort life and tropical getaways.

Finally, Urban Sunset ushers in an arty, feminine sensibility with blush pinks and blacks. Embellished knits and frilled tops are paired with fluid skirts, while the collection’s Marmo-inspired denim gets a refresh. This theme nods to the world of dance, with a sense of poised movement and elegance.

Accessories to Elevate the Everyday

Pucci’s collection is not just about clothing ~ it’s a complete lifestyle. The accessory lineup delivers standout pieces, including the Jewel sandal with feathers and pearls, and black utility boots adorned with foulard details. The Yummy shoulder and bucket bags come in colorful hues suited for daily use, while a sleek weekend carryall and sophisticated evening clutch round out the collection’s handbags.

Jewellery plays an imaginative role, too. A shell sautoir doubles as a pill case, and a brass lighter pendant is engraved with Pucci’s signature Marmo curves. A striking brass multi-finger ring with a feather motif, along with a sparkling ear cuff, are the final touches that add a whimsical note.


The Pucci Lifestyle: Beyond Fashion

Camille Miceli ensures the Pucci world extends beyond the runway. The Parade collection introduces unique lifestyle products, from custom playing cards to luxurious dog accessories like plush beds and outerwear. 

Playful yet practical, these items, including Marmo-covered alarm clocks and paddle rackets, reflect Pucci’s commitment to fusing past and present with a wink towards the future.

With the latest collection, Miceli has cleverly revived Pucci’s iconic heritage while propelling it into a new era of expressive, joyful design. Each piece, from the flamboyant prints to the innovative accessories, tell a story of exuberant creativity and individuality.
