When I think of Ungaro my first thought is always Paris.
 |
On my last visit, I saw an amazing exhibit of one of the largest collections of Lalique. I was in awe of the intricate details, the colors, the materials, and the craftmanship. It was a stunning display of the decorative genius of its creator, and a profound confirmation of my lifelong love of art history.

Each time I come to this incredible city – even when just entering the Metro station – I feel like I am entering an exhibit. It’s one of the only places where I don’t need to go to a museum, I am in a museum all the time. It is the “City of Light” only because there is so much to see.
 |
Paris’s wealth of decorative motifs inspires me, whether I’m walking through the Metro station, gazing at a façade, or opening an elaborate door. These things invigorate me and bring me so much joy.

I realize that even the American Starbucks feels chic and sophisticated in Paris.
When it comes to Emanuel Ungaro, it’s the House where I feel the most excited and exhilarated. Being able to go into the archives and immerse myself in his exquisite artistry -- from the 1970‘s on -- inspired this latest collection.
Paris and Ungaro, inseparable, bound together through history, fashion, art, and design, will always inspire me."
