Emilio Pucci, formally known as Emilio Pucci Marquis of Barsento, was famous for his use of unique, heavy geometric patterns with optical-art-like rhythms. Pucci’s use of colorful, frenetic prints in minimalist, straight-forward garment shapes made him a crucial figure in the mid-century transition between pure couture and exclusive ready-to-wear fashion. Pucci’s designs can be found not only on garments, but also on house wear, perfumes, ceramics, and electronics.

Geoffrey Beene began his career in the 1950s, designing under numerous New York houses including Teal Traina, finally opening his own label in 1963. Beene was incredibly conscious of the human body, and was particularly regardful of the figure in motion - as Beene once said “clothing is nothing until it hits the body." His designs were created to work with the client’s body, encasing it lightly and giving it a more artful structure. Beene's reinterpretations of dress formality, use of synthetics, and unusual combination of materials (accessories in acrylic and diamonds, for example), set him aside from his contemporaries who focused on the business of fashion, rather than the artistry of fashion.
