“Gaiety is one of the most important elements I brought to fashion. I brought it through color,” said Pucci. The designer competed on the Olympic ski team in 1932, a background which later influenced his work in sportswear. He created scarves, blouses and dresses. By 1962, his silk jersey dresses were immensely popular with women for travel because of the wrinkle-resistant fabric.
