An Ungaro Cover?
Check out the latest cover for “Vogue Mexico.” That’s the gorgeous Constance Jablonski in a dress from the Emanuel Ungaro S/S 2012 collection. I really liked this scarlet and turquoise section of the show. Even though Giles Deacon had parted ways with the label only weeks before this dress hit the runway, I could see his influence on the collection. And during this particular section, I felt as if the heritage of Ungaro was being mined in a manner that showed some promise for the future.
With the recent departure of even more executives, however, I suppose that the label is doomed. I don’t know how one dress on the cover of an international version of “Vogue” could possibly turn around the fortunes of one of the most-mismanaged labels in fashion, but I kind of wish it would. I also wish that Ungaro would make me their creative director because they couldn’t do worse, could they? It’s not like I’m Lindsay Lohan or the creative team from Halston . . .
