EMANUEL UNGARO FALL WINTER 2024-25 

Kobi Halperin, the visionary behind the Emanuel Ungaro women’s collection, breathes life into the fall/winter 2024 presentation with an exuberant celebration of elegance and femininity. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Dali painting, “Meditative Rose,” Halperin crafts a collection that resonates with a blend of melancholy, sensuality, and hope, echoing his childhood fascination with the symbolic flower. “I feel like it’s a great time in fashion because I think things are going to be elegant again,” Halperin tells fashion week magazine, igniting anticipation for a return to timeless beauty. His latest showcase for Ungaro’s women’s line embodies this sentiment, a testament to his commitment to designing for women who seek not just fashion, but true beauty and allure.

At the heart of Halperin’s creative vision lies the rose – a symbol of eternal refinement and romanticism. From the surrealist depths of Salvador Dalí’s imagination to the vibrant culture of Spain, the rose emerges as the muse for a collection that transcends mere fashion trends. Halperin’s meticulous craftsmanship weaves a tapestry of lace, velvet, and pleats, drenched in a palette of white, red, and black, reminiscent of the Spanish landscape.

Transporting the audience to the sun-soaked streets of Spain, Halperin’s moody floral prints evoke memories magnified and blurred, capturing the fleeting essence of a flower’s beauty. Lace motifs dance with dramatic flair, narrating tales of opulence and sophistication that define the Ungaro aesthetic. Eveningwear reigns supreme in Halperin’s collection, with bustier gowns and corseted skirts exuding an undeniably timeless allure. Delicate lace, draped satin, and pleated chiffon converge to create a symphony of texture and movement, captivating onlookers with every step.

Innovative fabric treatments breathe new life into familiar silhouettes, as dévoré velvet lace and foil-coated guipure infuse classic designs with a contemporary twist. Frilly flared pants and off-the-shoulder tops make bold statements, while a dégradé of red and black infuses pleated chiffon and lace skirts with modern sophistication. At the core of the collection lies an homage to femininity, with 3D rose embroideries and petal-inspired frills adorning lapels, necklines, and hems. Halperin’s unwavering attention to detail elevates each ensemble, inviting wearers into a world of timeless glamour and refined elegance.

As the curtains close on the Emanuel Ungaro Fall/Winter 2024-2025 presentation, Kobi Halperin’s vision reverberates through the halls of haute couture, heralding a new era of sophistication and style. In a world yearning for beauty and grace, Ungaro emerges as a beacon of hope, weaving dreams with every stitch and seam, reminding us that true elegance transcends fleeting trends.
