UNGARO

Nobody may tell the story of the Fashion House Emanuel Ungaro without starting with its founder, Emanuel Ungaro. From the age of 5, Emanuel played with the sewing machine, which was his whole family's tool of trade.

This provincial life provided him later with the key to his future trade and introduced him to a lifestyle embracing painting and music that has followed him throughout his life.

Bolstered by his exceptional creative talent, Emanuel moved to Paris at the age of 22 and started his apprenticeship alongside the Spanish designer, Cristobal Balenciaga. This period taught him rigor, perfection and the eternal search for an ideal in the silence required by his demanding yet generous Master.

In 1967, he moved his Ateliers to Avenue Montaigne. The head offices and flagship store still occupy the same building.

Emanuel Ungaro acquired international fame through his incredible sense of colour, his mix of unexpected patterns, the purity of his shapes and the insolence of the details.

Today the house Emanuel Ungaro has a new owner. It is present on all international markets: not only Europe, the cradle of the brand, but The United States and Japan have been conquered by the Ungaro style.

The Ungaro range of accessories reflect, and are part of the natural evolution of this brand and this collection favours shapes and refined details, developed into articles intended for active and modern men, without sacrificing traditional Ungaro luxury.
