Looks like the new designer at Ungaro (forgot his name) has consulted the archives alot this season. I don' t like what i've seen so far but the white dress on Freja Beha in post# 4 is quite nice.

love it, but have to admit it's not as impressive as previous ungaro collection were.....
it reminds me too much of pucci/ysl/balenciaga - all mixed together.
like something sophisticated about it is missing....

I'm sorry...but this is just yuck. I think the ruffle needs to be handled with restraint i.e. maybe with a simpler colour palette/pattern or used with ironic abandon..... this doesn't cut it.
The first thing I thought was that F/W 03 YSL collection by Tom Ford that was ruffle intensive. I love the color mixing.
My favorite piece in the whole set, YSL would design something similar (probably has too). Take away those ruffles around the neck and add a pencil skirt. Ruffles are godawful.

Review from style.com:
PARIS, October 5, 2005 – Vincent Darré's second go-around at Emanuel Ungaro was, in at least a couple of ways, more successful than his first. He settled on the house's opulent eighties phase as a source of inspiration, rather than knocking about its deep and varied archive. And once set on that trajectory, he thankfully forwent some of the decade's most garish moments—goodbye, last season's jarring prints and kimono detailing.
That's not to say things were subdued. Quiet, after all, was never Ungaro's style. Ruffles, bustiers, and poufy shapes abounded. And though Darré's palette included soft, silvery pastels, it was teal, saffron, and fuchsia that predominated, sometimes in abstract florals and geometric prints. He opened with bare halter shapes and finished with even-sparer bras and girdles, interspersed with brief cuffed shorts. It's not clear where the majority of these clothes would be appropriate, beyond the beaches and nightclubs of St. Bart's. The real trouble is that the eighties are simply not where fashion's at. The audience would have welcomed a more personal statement from Darré, who has had successes at both Moschino and Fendi. But it's not clear that he's the man to make Ungaro's aesthetic relevant for today.
