Law Roach, a prominent figure in the fashion industry, has reportedly gathered a group of investors to pursue the acquisition of the renowned French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro, as highlighted by Puck’s Lauren Sherman. Currently, the brand is under the ownership of Asim Abdullah, a Silicon Valley tech investor who purchased it for an impressive million from the Ferragamo family back in 2005. Since then, Ungaro has experienced significant turnover, cycling through nine different designers, including the controversial Lindsay Lohan. There are ongoing rumors suggesting that Abdullah may be facing financial challenges, including being burdened with debt. Should this acquisition be finalized, Roach would secure a majority stake in this iconic fashion brand, potentially revitalizing its presence in the competitive fashion market.
The news of this prospective acquisition coincides with Law Roach’s recent feature on the cover of next month’s GQ magazine, where he styled the talented Travis Kelce. In the engaging cover story penned by Sean Manning, Kelce shares insights into his life with Taylor Swift, his aspirations for the upcoming NFL season, and reflections on his recent Super Bowl loss. This high-profile collaboration marks a significant moment for both Roach and Kelce, showcasing their influence in their respective fields.
