Ugo Correani

Ugo Correani (1935 - 1992) was an Italian fashion designer specializing in accessories and jewelry design.

Life and career

Born in Frascati, at 20 years old Correani moved to Milan to work in the atelier of Germana Marucelli. In 1973 fashion designer Walter Albini convinced him to use his creativity in accessories, and from then Correani specialized in making necklaces, bracelets and earrings. His jewellery was often inspired by nature and he used materials such as driftwood, coral and stones.

In 1976 Correani started a long professional relationship with Gianni Versace, also becoming a close friend of him. In 1984 they also began collaborating with La Scala making the costumes and the jewelry for its theater productions. Correani used to say "The day that I die I want to be buried in a red suit and a shirt by Versace." He also collaborated with Valentino, Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, Christian Lacroix among others.

Struck by AIDS, Correani died on 18 September 1992 of heart attack in his house in Milan.

Ugo (retailer)

UGO was a chain of convenience stores in the United Kingdom owned by the Haldanes Group and was started in January 2011.

It acquired 20 mid-size Netto supermarkets in the North and Midlands of England from the ASDA chain, and turned them into UGO stores; these stores were in: Athersley, Ashington, Blackburn, Boothferry, Bradford, Burnley, Bury, Carcroft, Eston, Hartlepool, Hull (two stores), Kirkby, Lundwood, Monk Bretton, Nuneaton, Retford, Rotherham, Stanley and Wavertree. Additionally, the Haldanes stores in Biddulph (Staffordshire) and Broxburn (Scotland) were converted to the UGO branding; these two stores remained in the ownership of Haldanes Stores, another company in the Haldanes Group.

The UGO strategy was to double Netto’s existing core range of branded grocery lines to around 3,000 more items, plus more fresher bakery items from the Haldanes-acquired Woodhead Bakery.

UGO have appeared twice on television in the United Kingdom. It appeared on Channel 4's Come Dine With Me when a contestant was filmed shopping for the programme in the Blackburn store, and appeared on Channel 4's Facejacker which aired on March 27, 2012 at 10pm, in the Nuneaton store, when the self-service checkout was 'taken over'.
