Emanuel Ungaro
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 16, 2008
By
In his first Resort collection for Emanuel Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar took inspiration from Cartagena, in his native Colombia, and particularly from the sherbet-hued coterie of bridesmaids at Lauren Santo Domingo's wedding in the seaside city. Thankfully, there was nothing remotely bridal or froufrou about Cortazar's forward-thinking collection. Khaki jackets and romantic camisoles would work in an office, and tops printed with parrots and bougainvillea were breezy and beach-ready. Evening options, such as a printed and draped T-shirt gown and a V-necked ivory jacquard, were also frippery-free. The result: an enviable ease.
