Dress to Impress with Happy Socks 'Dressed' collection


Emilio Pucci and Illy announce their first collaboration





EMILIO PUCCI - ILLY ART COLLECTION

Emilio Pucci and illy, two leaders in Italian excellence, are pleased to announce their first collaboration. The Florentine-based fashion brand and the Trieste-based coffee company have partnered on the creation of a special collection of printed coffee cups. Part of illy’s revered Art Collection, the cups draw inspiration from 6 of Emilio Pucci’s “Cities of the World” exclusive, hand-drawn scarf prints depicting scenes from global metropolises, including one designed by the Marquis Emilio Pucci in 1957.

“This is the first time we’ve ever worked with a fashion brand”, says Carlo Bach, Art & Creative Director of illy, and mastermind of the company’s successful art-based program. “But Emilio Pucci was himself an artist, and it made perfect sense to bring his enduring vision of unmistakable style to life”.

“My father was always sketching, drawing and creating,” says Laudomia Pucci, daughter of the late Marquis and current Image Director of the fashion label. “In a way,  he was always as much an artist as a fashion designer, so it is wonderful to see his work sit together with illy’s esteemed roster of contemporary artists.”

Since its inception in 1992, the illy Art collection has collaborated with hundreds of leading contemporary artists, including top art world luminaries such as Marina Abramovic, Robert Rauschenberg, Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, Anish Kapoor, and Daniel Buren. Each has lent their creativity and singular imprint to illy’s cups, creating a rich cadre of collectible table top objects. The shape of the espresso cup itself, designed by architect Matteo Thun in 1991, is by now ubiquitous throughout Italy and the rest of the world, an immediately recognizable symbol of high quality and passionate attention to detail.

The Emilio Pucci - illy Art Collection features six different prints on three different cup sizes: espresso, cappuccino and mug formats. Portraying illustrations of Florence, Rome, Milan, New York, London, and Paris, the whimsical prints were selected from Emilio Pucci’s popular “Cities of the World” collection. The story of these remarkable prints begins in 1957 when the Marquis Emilio Pucci penned his iconic Battistero illustration, a special drawing depicting Florence’s Piazza Santa Maria del Fiore shot through with bright flashes of vibrant lemon yellow, tangerine orange, ‘Emilio” pink and deep fuchsia. Originally produced for his chic silk twill scarves, the print was conceived as a portable postcard; a love letter to the Marquis’ hometown and a souvenir his clients could carry and treasure when they returned home.

Roughly sketched and brightly color-blocked, the original artwork embodies Pucci’s signature, undisputable style and became the blueprint for the other hand-drawn cities which followed in recent years.

The Emilio Pucci - illy Art Collection is sold in sets contained within a specially designed Pucci box upon which the various monuments from the “Cities of the World” designs loop together to form a single, imaginary global skyline on a background of vivid Pucci color.

Carrying portable artwork, the cups are much more than the revered objects. The cups have been elevated to the sphere of small works of art to enjoy, see and use every day. Numbered and signed, each is part of a limited edition series, sold in discreet channels such as illy’s shops and a few select design shops and popup locations around the world, as well as through Pucci’s online flagship www.emiliopucci.com in Europe.

Available starting October, the collection is a perfect choice for Christmas gifting.





illy dévoile sa toute nouvelle illy Art Collection, 
designée par la célèbre Maison Emilio Pucci

Pour la toute première fois, illy a confié la décoration de son iconique tasse à café à une grande Maison du monde de la mode. Emilio Pucci, un véritable symbole de la haute-couture italienne, prête cette année son style inimitable à la marque triestine, et signe une toute nouvelle illy Art Collection dédiée à l’âme des grandes métropoles.

Emilio Pucci et illy, deux entreprises emblématiques de l’excellence à l’italienne, sont heureuses d’annoncer leur toute première collaboration. 
La maison de couture florentine et le torréfacteur triestin ont travaillé main dans la main à la création d’une collection inédite de tasses à café, venant enrichir le projet des illy Art Collections. 
Emilio Pucci s’est inspiré de 6 motifs exclusifs - dont l’un d’eux esquissé par le Marquis Emilio Pucci en 1957 - dessinés à la main et issus de sa collection de foulards « Cities of the World », qui transcrit l’âme de grandes métropoles mondiales.

« C’est la première fois que nous travaillons avec une marque du monde de la mode » explique Carlo Bach, Directeur Artistique et de la Création chez illy, en charge de la démarche artistique de l’entreprise. « Emilio Pucci étant lui-même un artiste, donner vie à sa vision intemporelle et sans faille du style nous paraissait une évidence ». 

« Mon père était constamment en train d’esquisser, de dessiner et de créer » explique Laudomia Pucci, fille du Marquis et Directrice de l’Image de la Maison. « D’une certaine manière, il était presque plus artiste que créateur de mode, c’est donc merveilleux de voir son nom rejoindre le cercle de grandes figures de l’art contemporain qui ont travaillé avec illy ».

Depuis sa création en 1992, le projet illy Art Collection réunit la signature de centaines d’artistes contemporains majeurs, dont des grands noms internationaux comme Marina Abramović, Robert Rauschenberg, Jeff Koons, Julian Schnabel, Anish Kapoor, ou encore Daniel Buren. Chacun d’entre eux a prêté sa créativité et son style unique pour réinterpréter la tasse iconique illy, donnant ainsi vie à une riche collection de véritables objets d’art. Le design même des tasses illy, imaginé par l’architecte Matteo Thun en 1991, est devenu un symbole d’excellence et d’esthétisme en Italie et dans le monde entier. 

La nouvelle illy Art Collection Emilio Pucci dévoile six motifs différents, déclinés sur des tasses à espresso, cappuccino et mug. Arborant des illustrations de Florence, Rome, Milan, New York, Londres et Paris, les imprimés fantaisistes sont issus de la célèbre collection « Cities of the World » d’Emilio Pucci. L’histoire de ces imprimés commence en 1957, quand le Marquis Emilio Pucci réalise le croquis de son iconique illustration du Battistero de la célèbre place Santa Maria del Fiore à Florence, traversée de vifs éclats jaune citron, orange Tangerine, rose “Emilio” et fuchsia intense.

Ce motif, originellement destiné aux élégants carrés en soie de la Maison de couture, est conçu comme une carte postale : une missive à Florence, la ville natale du Marquis, et un souvenir de voyage qui restera ancré dans la mémoire des fidèles admirateurs de la Maison.

Cette création originale, aux lignes stylisées et aux lumineux blocs de couleurs, incarne toute l’unicité du style Pucci, et s’est imposée ces quelques dernières années comme une illustration de référence parmi les dessins de villes réalisés à la main. 

La illy Art Collection Emilio Pucci est vendue dans un coffret spécialement dessiné par la Maison, reprenant les lignes des différents monuments de « Cities of the World », reliés entre eux pour former un horizon imaginaire, sur fond de couleurs vives propres à Pucci. 

Bien plus que des objets d’art figés, ces tasses sont de petites œuvres à s’approprier au quotidien. Chaque pièce de cette collection en édition limitée est numérotée et signée, et les coffrets seront disponibles dans des points de vente exclusifs dans le monde entier, à l’image des boutiques illy (espressamente et illy shops), de quelques pop-up stores et magasins de design, ainsi que sur les sites internet de Pucci, www.emiliopucci.com et d’illy www.shop.illy.com 

Disponible dès Octobre 2016, la illy Art Collection Emilio Pucci est le cadeau idéal pour Noël.
