The range of Pucci paraphernalia
is astonishing. From playing cards to airplanes, Pucci carried designer
diversification into areas where many others have feared to tread.
What is most exceptional is that he never gave up control over any
item bearing his name. The whimsical quality of Pucci's designs
soon found themselves in quality rugs, towels, pillows, ceramics,
perfumes, handbags, tights, hats, shoes, silk ties and other fashion
accessories as well as in the 1977 Pucci Lincoln Continental. His
grandest commission was probably the 1965 creation of the Braniff
International Airlines stewardess' uniforms with color coordinated
airplanes, ticket counters and VIP lounges! Pucci's designs flew
over the stratosphere when, in 1971, he created the emblem for the
Apollo 15 Space Mission.
