Emanuel Ungaro was born of Italian parents, in France in 1933. Trained by his tailor father, Emanuel Ungaro went to Paris in 1955 to work for a small tailoring firm. In 1958 he secured a position with Balenciaga and became chief designer of the house in 1960.
Leaving Balenciaga in 1964 for a brief stint with Courreges, Ungaro then opened his own couture house, with only six other workers in 1965. Ungaro was at first known for his crisp space age tailoring which appealed primarily to the young. Over time, he became more renowned as a colourist, using softer, more fluid fabrics and layered garments. Ungaro Parallele, his pret-a-porter line was created in 1968.
WILL THEY FIT ME?
Whatever you do, don’t measure your foot! Since we are measuring shoes, it is best to measure another shoe that you know fits well for comparison.
We suggest that you grab a similar pair of your shoes that fit well and carefully (using a flexible measuring tape) on the inside of the shoe starting at the very tip of the toe (top of the shoe) measure from there all the way back to the heel. This is your “length”.
Then go up to where the ball of your foot would be in the shoe. This is the widest part of your foot before your toes. Carefully measure across the sole side to side in that widest spot of the shoe. That is your width.
Then compare those two measurements to the measurements of the shoe you are looking to purchase.
*Remember open and peep toes will have longer lengths than closed toes and if you find yourself in love w a shoe that is just a tad bit to small a good shoe stretcher can give you an extra half inch easily ;)
