“I'm not intellectual at all as a designer. Whatever I'm into at the moment is usually what becomes the collection.” MomentsIntellectualDesigner Author:Peter Dundas
“The year before was my first collection for Emilio Pucci, and I was just starting the job and working in his Renaissance Palazzo, where Pucci is headquartered, so that inspired me. I found this image in the book. It was an old image of Emilio Pucci hanging out by the seaside with all of these women, and that's exactly how I used to think about this house - more of a lifestyle thing. This beautiful life. So I'm really working on that.” ThinkingBookBeautifulHouseInspiredLifestyleHanging OutBeautiful Life Author:Peter Dundas

“I'm incapable of functioning without music. I've always had it in my life. I played the violin when I was a kid, and my mother was a violinist at that point, so it's always been important to me in one way or another. When I work, there's always music cranking.” ImportantKidsMotherWithout MusicViolinist Author:Peter Dundas
“I spend tons of time on the music for the fashion shows. I work with this DJ, Jeremy Healy, and we do, like, four or five sessions during the week leading up to the show where we put the music together.” TogetherWeekFashionFashion Show Author:Peter Dundas
“I think my biggest muses in fashion are probably rock 'n' roll girlfriends, like Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull and Bianca Jagger - and then maybe Patti Smith a bit as well.” ThinkingFashionGirlfriendMuseJagger Author:Peter Dundas
“I want Pucci woman to be a Pucci girl. That's number one, because I think she should have that vibe that corresponds with today. Emilio Pucci - the house is, I think, 63 years old now. It's an old house. The Pucci woman from the beginning would be 80 years old or something today, so I've kind of had to update her.” ThinkingKindTodayGirlHouse Author:Peter Dundas
“I think a lot of people, when they think about the house, they think of the print. But when people think about Emilio Pucci, I want them to think about this really, really hot girl, so my biggest job is to give her a face and an identity - and I do that by trying to associate that kind of print that people have in their minds with a kind of girl who is free-spirited, rebellious, a little bit rock 'n' roll, and who has a lot of energy, who is up.” PeopleThinkingGivingTryingMindKindGirlHouseEnergyIdentityHotPrintRebelliousHot Girl Author:Peter Dundas
“Working for an older house is a great opportunity, but it's also a big responsibility. The fortunes of a lot of people and families are based on what the results of my collections are, and how successful they are on a commercial level, and how big an impact they have on a trade level as well. So I think I'm a little bit more chill about that.” PeopleThinkingOpportunityHouseResponsibilitySuccessfulTradeChillGreat Opportunity Author:Peter Dundas
