CND Fashion Week

From the beauty test to the final runway walk, this was Italy and high fashion at its finest! Through the brilliant work of CND Creative Ambassador and "Queen of Nails" in Europe, Marian Newman, the doors at Pucci opened for our collaboration.

Marian and I visited the Pucci showroom in Milan and saw an explosion of color...vibrant pantones in lime, blue, pink, red and salmon. Then we were dazzled by iconic Pucci patterns in ALL colors. And for nails? A celebration of pattern and color in 3 different paisleys, 2 graphic zebra prints, 3 dynamic solids...all on a super chic, very Italian, classically tailored nail! The models walked to a descriptive narrative about what else...COLOR!!! Never before were Pucci-worthy VINYLUX™ Weekly Polish shades brought to life more beautifully. The highlights: Blue Eyeshadow, Salmon Run, Sienna Scribble & Lavishly Loved, Lush Tropics, Black Pool, Cream Puff...and a myriad more!

Led by the fabulous Shelena Robinson, the Design Lab Team included the artful talent of dedicated Pros from Italy, Greece, U.K. and the U.S.! What a treat and delight to work with the lovely team at Pucci, our amazing Pros, our Italian hosts from Ladybird House, and our treasured friend, Marian Newman!

About Pucci

The Emilio Pucci brand is renowned for its signature prints, joyful color combinations and “made in Italy” luxury fashions.

Pucci was driven by the desire to liberate women, granting them unprecedented freedom of movement. His designs featured sensual, free-flowing lines that followed the natural curves of the body - effortlessly elegant clothing which took women from day to evening and from jets to seaside cocktail parties, perfectly complementing the lifestyle of the high-rolling, jet set crowd.

A major influence in contemporary fashion, Emilio Pucci’s legacy continues to be a seminal force behind the birth of the “made in Italy” style and a milestone in Italy’s luxury sportswear concept. Today, Creative Director Massimo Giorgetti carries on the trailblazing vision at the house of Pucci.
