2. Emanuel Ungaro-Early Years


Emanuel (Maffeolit) Ungaro was born on February 13, 1933 to Italian parents, in Aix-en-Provence in France. His parents had fled to France from Brindisi, Italy because of the fascist Italian government. To this day, he has not forgotten his roots, "I think in French, but I laugh in Italian."

As a young boy, Emanuel Ungaro took to sewing like his father and trained to join the family tailoring business. Instead moved to Paris at the age of 22 (in 1955), and worked for a small tailoring firm. Three years later, he began designing for the House of Cristobal Balenciaga for three years. He later quit to work for Courrèges where he designed many of the 60's metal outfits of that house. Courreges was a leading couturier of the 60's and Ungaro's designs were very popular.

3. Ungaro on his Own


In 1965, Emanuel Ungaro opened his own fashion house in Paris, with Sonia Knapp designing his fabrics. With 40 square meters and four seamstresses, Ungaro quickly imposed his sense of colour, structure, and fashion on the international fashion scene. He used music as his inspiration. So his designs are created to an accompaniment of classical music in his salon. This has led to his genius for draping and flowing gowns. His Italian upbringing and love of the country side, has led to his use of a wide range of colours. These are bright, floral, and scintillating. In 1968, he created his first pret-a-porter collection, Parallèle and opened a flagship boutique at 2, avenue Montaigne in Paris. During the next 30 years, the Emanuel Ungaro House expanded to include boutiques and licensing agreements worldwide. He attained the Neiman Marcus Award in 1969.

4. Emanuel Ungaro-Expansion Years


Within a few decades, Ungaro’s line would be known across several continents and come to encompass menswear, accessories, and several fragrances. Ladies flocked to his door for the precision cut and body-skimming silhouettes he used to flatter most figures. Ungaro launched his first menswear collection “Ungaro Uomo”, in 1973, and his first perfume, Diva, 10 years later in 1983. The design of the bottle was inspired by one of his draped garments. Diva was followed by another fragrance, Senso, in 1987.
