Camille Miceli: "When you're dressed in Pucci, you can go anywhere" Pucci in the words of its creative director
The latest collection by Camille Miceli for Pucci, entitled Passepartout, was unveiled through a campaign shot by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, capturing the iconic top model Naomi Campbell shining and embodying the freedom and sensuality of the brand. We sat down with the creative director during Milan Fashion Week. The Italian maison presented the Fall-Winter collection in the symbolic setting of Palazzo Clerici.
Interview with Camille Miceli, Creative Director of Pucci
"The collection is called Passepartout for two reasons," explains Camille Miceli. "First, because when you wear Pucci you can go anywhere — into Ibiza’s clubs, art galleries, flea markets. You don’t need a key. And also because of an Italian art TV program by Philippe Daverio with the same name. I’m passionate about art, I even collect some pieces. For me, it was a direct reference to this Italian spirit, which is so important for Pucci.”
But there are many more inspirations: "I always start with the print when creating a collection. It’s the star of the brand. And this time, Naomi Campbell inspired me a lot, that’s why we created the campaign together. She has this incredible energy, she’s even a DJ. There was the Pucci Summer, now there will be the Pucci Winter Party," she reveals, opening up to a season of wild celebrations, all in total Pucci looks, of course. The theme of the muse returns. When we ask her what kind of woman embodies the Passepartout collection, Miceli has no doubts: "Naomi Campbell." She shows the same concision when asked to describe Pucci in three words: "Family, joy of life, seduction."
Changing the subject, we talked about possible and impossible collaborations, both dreamed and imagined: "If I could collaborate with a female artist, I would undoubtedly choose Tatiana Trouvè. She’s a friend, I love her work. She loves fashion, she has a remarkable sensitivity. She has an incredible jewelry collection. Her show at Palazzo Grassi is outstanding.”
The Prints of Pucci’s Fall-Winter 2025 Passepartout Collection
As Miceli anticipated, archival prints return in this collection in a more dynamic guise than ever. From the Labirinto pattern of 1969, evoking leopard spots in shades of black, beige and gold, to the Istrice design of 1957, with rounded and jagged lines in vibrant tones of fuchsia, red and purple. Alongside them, the Collane motif from 1970 plays with geometries of circles and diamonds, while the sinuous Volute add an elongated and suggestive effect. The iconic Astro spiral, a favorite of Emilio Pucci for his caftans, also makes an appearance, as does the energetic Hawaii of 1969, a solar explosion standing out against solid backgrounds. A repertoire of signs and colors reaffirming the maison’s graphic power.
