Rumors has it…
Is Colombian designer Esteban Cortazar, leaving french house Emanuel Ungaro? According to a report on WWD, whispers began with a discrepancy between Ungaro management and the designer over the direction of the brand’s advertising and marketing strategy.
Rumors has it, Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige wants to make future campaigns thinking in a celebrity-path direction – bringing a new life to the brand. Moufarrige has made no official comment.
