Emanuel Ungaro dies at 86 

The fashion industry says goodbye to one of the names that made history. On December 21, the designer Emanuel Ungaro passed away at the age of 86 in Paris. The designer was born in 1933 in Aix-en-Provence, France, although his family emigrated to Italy. 

He learned the basis of his profession from his father, who worked as a tailor, although he worked close with Cristóbal Balenciaga after arriving in Paris in 1956. Ungaro launched his own brand in 1968 with his first womenswear collection. In 1973, he started designing men’s ready-to-wear.
