Maria Pucci of Gramercy Atelier
A GUIDE FOR THIS SEASON’S WEARABLE ART
by Emily Reyna
Fall 2017 – We asked creative director Maria Pucci of Gramercy Atelier to share her creations, inspirations, and influences behind her newest designs.
WHAT’S NEW FOR THIS SEASON?
This season I’m focusing on collaborations with artists to create original fabric designs. We’ve been invited to participate at Cube Art Fair: The American Art Fair of Brussels from October 11-15. As a part of the event, we are bringing an abstract hand-painted silk piece, which we created with Eduardo Wilder, who is well-known for his costume design work on Broadway. We’re also working with Charleston-based designer Susan Carson from Carson & Company whose work combines different antique botanical prints in whimsical patterns.
WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY INSPIRED BY?
My clients inspire me every day. Their style is classic, timeless, and sophisticated. I always try to bring the best fabrics, the most beautiful color combinations, and fine trims – but the vision they have for bringing the elements together and to reflect who they really are is what makes the look come together. This fall I would like to include some fine men’s wool plaids in combination with more feminine colors like powder blue and raspberry pink. I think this would be a good look for a stroll on King Street.
