A few months before, from Macedonia, where the Gypsies have reported that Alexander the Great died in India, traspornatandolo immersed in a barrel of honey, a procession begins luxurious, conducted by a gypsy queen with his whole court, comes from in the heart of an unspoiled natural park of the Camargue, where the Spanish influence is very marked and ineradicable.

The ceremony that follows is full of music, dance, joy, beautiful women dressed in the clothes of an incredible luxury and adorned with precious jewels. It's nice to think that Peter Dundas, Scandinavian-born creative director of Pucci, has taken inspiration from this sacred ceremony where it mixes with the beauty and richness of the dresses and jewels of which only the gypsy may be carriers.

It is a festival of color, a feast of forms which manifests itself clearly in the skirts of Infanta, large, swollen, supported, or in the jackets of the traje de luz (here and returning to Spain in the Camargue), the bullfighter's red as a passion as the luxury, like the festival, such as wealth. Or like the carefree attacking in moments of joy, moments of the sacrum (the sacred that everyone chooses) in moments of beauty. All moments of lightness in Dundas didascalizza butterfly dresses, but are present even in the blacks of jersey shorts with lace thigh, taken directly from the underwear drawer and transferred under a jacket.
