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.
