The Greek statue, the Oriental veiled beauty, the Parisienne, the gypsy, the diva - all these incarnations of women and more are captured in the creations of Emanuel Ungaro.

Since then, he has exhibited both ready-to-wear and couture collections, each of them representing the height of elegant, sophisticated chic. This is an exploration of his work in fashion.
