I don't see anything intrinsically Ungaro about this collection. Ungaro was known for three things; bold colour combinations, mixing printed patterns together and above all, he was a master at drape. On top of that, he managed to combine all three into a very feminine and sensual vision.
What Giles and Katie have given us is a humorous take on the Ungaro legacy, yet it does not translate in the way that his own collection would. This humour translates into something more farcical and almost insulting to the House of Ungaro. I, for one, am not laughing at this joke of a collection. It's also a shame that we will have to suffer through this collection in Love Magazine and everywhere else that Giles and Katie are connected to. I think, in retrospect, Peter Dundas was the most successful designer for Ungaro. Sure, his collections weren't perfect, but they were as close to modern and relevant as Ungaro could possibly get given their ownership and mismanagement.
