The world of Fiorucci was introduced to me by one of my best fashion friends while I was living in the U.K. I love the way ‘Fiorucci’ sounds when you speak it; it makes you purse you lips like you are kissing the air. It sounds sexy and playful. So imagine my excitement when just the other day I discovered this vintage poster in my local charity shop. I wish I could post it to my friend Stephanie, but I think I will just send her a photo and make her immensely jealous, as it is one of her all time favorite fashion brands.
Elio Fiorucci was born in Milano in 1935. It was in 1970 that the Fiorucci brand became distinguished by the famous angel logo and hence the brands ultimate trademark. Today the Fiorucci name is synonymous with cheeky fun. The label is definitely collectible, so keep your eyes peeled when vintage hunting.
