Label Text:The simple, tubular mini dress was ubiquitous during the 1960s, and its silhouette fused perfectly with Emilio Pucci's colorful, energetic prints. The streamlined shape of the dress forms a canvas that showcases the vibrancy of the Op Art-infused pattern. Practical and elegant, it underscores Pucci's reputation for clothing that was full of vitality and optimism - and perfectly in tune with the spirit of the era.
