The French fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro is dead in Paris, 86 years, informs his family.
Ungaro, who was known for both fashion design and perfumes, died Saturday after two years with ‘impaired health’, says a member of the family.
He retired in 2004.
Ungaro was born in Aix-en-Provence in southern France in 1933, as the son of a tailor. He has since said that he learned the basics from his father.
the Family were immigrants from Italy and they moved to Paris in 1956, where he was trained with the Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga.
Nine years later, he established his own fashion house in Paris and soon became known for his colorful style.
On its website, writes House Emanuel Ungaro on the founder that he “dared to be different.
Even has Ungaro, among other things said that ‘one should not have a dress on, you must stay in the’.
In the Ungaros fashion house was the ‘explosive style everywhere’, wrote his friend, the writer Christine Orban, in a biography about him.
– A simple sweater with the softness of the call of a caress, a dress that is cut to move and follow the body in its movements, she wrote.
Emanuel Ungaro has through his career dressed a variety of stars on. Among them Gena Rowlands, Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Adjani.
