Emilio Pucci - Thinker. Tailor. Soldier. Spy

[Vinclothes]

I receive the Reed College alumni magazine and was thrilled to discover a long article about Emilio Pucci . "Thinker. Tailor. Soldier. Spy., The kaleidoscopic career of Emilio Pucci '37"

A recent thread discussed his interest in skiing. Apparently he earned his tuition, room, and board for coaching the Reed ski team. He is credited with bringing a sense of fashion to the ski world among many other accomplishments.
