Pucci named his collection “Gemini IV” after NASAs Gemini space program. Pucci created what he called the “Air Strip” which was comprised of layers that were to be removed in stages during flight. Within this collection was a reversible green gabardine coat, space bubble helmets, pillbox hats in Pucci geometric patterns, psychedelic scarves and matching space boots and gloves. The outer coat was meant to be “peeled off” in flight to reveal  THIS raspberry pink suit set underneath. Underneath this suit was a thin jersey turtleneck. Braniff worked with Pucci until the early 1970s, however, this suit was the first prototype of the many variations of suits to come after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaspberry wool gabardine skirt suit.
