This season, Camille Miceli brought Pucci’s *la dolce vita* spirit to Portofino, transforming La Cervara—a medieval hilltop abbey with hidden cloisters, lush gardens, and panoramic views of the Golfo del Tigullio—into a dreamy runway. Guests enjoyed an intimate open-air show as the sunset cast a golden glow, setting a relaxed, joyful mood. Miceli’s effortless blend of French and Italian style was on full display.

Under her direction, Pucci’s typically bold, intricate prints have taken on a fresh, dynamic energy. For spring, she focused on the Marmo motif, a swirling pattern inspired by the sunlit ripples of Capri’s Grotta Azzurra—originally created by Emilio Pucci himself. Miceli reimagined it in prints, embellished tunics and palazzo pants with metallic studs, and transformed it into glossy black-and-white beaded swirls that shimmered like seashells.

She played with volume and silhouette, showcasing her confidence in craftsmanship. Airy, wind-swept tops floated over structured crinoline skirts made from parachute nylon, cinched with drawstrings and adorned with 3D appliqués. Flowing caftans contrasted with sleek asymmetrical tunics, while bandeau miniskirts were paired with oversized shirts. Sheer, body-hugging net dresses clung like tattoos, and printed fringe details added movement—draping from ponchos, cascading off shoulders, and swaying dramatically on a striking black-and-white beaded gown worn by Kristen McMenamy, who closed the show alongside Naomi Campbell in a slinky sequined dress.

Miceli toned down Pucci’s usual vibrant palette, sticking to black, white, and soft pink—yet the brand’s signature energy remained, now sharper and more refined. “The world feels so harsh right now—we need softness, not aggression,” she said. If only everyone else would take note.
