Laudomia Pucci, daughter of the late Emilio Pucci, has been sifting through the family archives in a new project where the extensive fashion history of the family-owned label will be on show to the public in Florence, Italy. Acting as the role of curator for the past four years, Laudomia is cataloguing everything the family has in an effort to open the family's first foundation. There is so much product, apparently, that there is enough to fill four large newly restored rooms on the ground floor of Palazzo Pucci in Florence.

Interest in the family's rich fashion history has inspired the city's Galleria del Costume to host an exhibition of 62 unpublished drawings by Emilio Pucci in celebration of the foundation's opening. The collection is vast - from accessories and scarves to perfumes, sketches, photographs, carpets and other paraphernalia. Think too of historical garments such as printed terry kaftans, jersey dresses and tiny hot pants. There are even items worn by Marilyn Monroe, who was an avid fan of the brand back in the 50s.

For Pucci fans, fashion historians and journalists alike, the Pucci foundation is definitely worth a visit. Housed in a beautiful nineteen-century palazzo, visitors we will see first-hand how Pucci used to work and be given an insight into the old techniques. The Pucci archives span from 1947 to the present. Laudomia's aim is to constantly add to the Foundation, making it a work in progress.
