Emilio Pucci Embellished Ostrich Feather Print Dress – IT 38

The dress is cut in a sleek, gently A-line silhouette with long sleeves, allowing the print and intricate surface detailing to take centre stage. Across the body, sweeping abstract forms in turquoise, cobalt blue, blush pink, lilac, mint, black and soft ivory flow into one another, while the sleeves introduce a denser, almost psychedelic floral motif. Discreet Emilio Pucci signatures are incorporated throughout the print, a characteristic detail of the house’s celebrated textile designs.

The neckline is the true focal point. Layers of iridescent green paillettes, violet-toned crystals and faceted clear embellishments form an elaborate jewelled collar, beneath which genuine ostrich feathers sweep across the shoulders and upper bodice. Their deep teal and black colouring creates a dramatic contrast against the saturated print while adding movement and texture.

The same jewel-like workmanship is repeated at each cuff, where oversized iridescent green paillettes are framed by rows of violet crystals and finished with suspended clear faceted drops. The effect is almost that of jewellery built directly into the garment — an especially opulent detail that transforms the simple long-sleeved silhouette into something unmistakably statement-making.

Crafted in Italy from a fluid viscose and silk blend, the fabric has a smooth, lightweight drape that allows the large-scale print to fall beautifully across the body. The composition contains 17% silk, lending the textile a particularly refined handle and subtle lustre.

A remarkable example of Pucci’s maximalist side: part print, part embellishment and part featherwork. Rather than relying solely on the house’s iconic pattern, this piece brings together several decorative techniques within a single design, making it a particularly special choice for collectors of expressive Italian fashion.
