Behind the imagery of Pucci’s world renowned designs lies a remarkable tale of courage and intrigue that totally redefines our understanding of this great fashion designer. The gripping narrative is replete with alliances, manipulations, betrayals, and daring – all shadowed by the unexpected in the dying months of WWII. Blending fashion, history and biography, the book reveals a remarkable story that extends far beyond style.
The conversation will be moderated by Professor Alfonso Montuori, Professor of Transformative Inquiry, California Institute of Integral Studies.
