Colour // 1964 Pucci Advertisement


I love the cascading psychedelic pattern in this Pucci advertisement and the way the fabric has spread as the model swept across the rocks for the photographer.  The pattern strongly reminds me of 1960's Op-Art that used optical illusions to create movement on a flat surface.  It has an amazing colour scheme; the olive green, tan and burgundy shades within the waves of the fabric remind me of summer and the dry environment in the Mediterranean.  This association is emphasised by the foreign setting for the photograph and the sun kissed appearance of the model.
