After a sexed up year at Ungaro, Giles Deacon has amicably decided to part ways with the brand. Ungaro is ever attempting to rejuvenate the brand, re: Lindsay Lohan as artistic director back in ’09, and now they’re onto new strategies. The forthcoming show on October 3rd will be by the collective efforts of the design team. We saw how that boded for Dior, get it together Frenchies. Serve it up.

Here’s another shocker to add to the recent spate of designer shakeups (Gaultier leaving Hermès, Giles going to Ungaro, Sarah Burton stepping up at McQueen). We hear from a trusted source that Nicola…

Emanuel Ungaro confirmed on Tuesday that they have successfully tapped designer Giles Deacon to replace Lindsay Lohan as its new creative director. This follows the departure of Estrella Archs, the chief designer who was forced to work next to the failed starlet for half of two seasons.

So glad I didn’t get up for this show this morning, looking at the photos this is probably on the same level of awful as the Lindsay Lohan/Ungaro collection. Do the Kardashian’s realize that we are in Fall, not Spring with their boring Old Navy worthy shorts (even in leather, which we saw last season) and J.Crew like tops. Besides denim and tee shirts, which came straight out of a Joyce Leslie store, there were equally bad dresses made for a twelve year old skank, or the likes of (again) Lohan. The only halfway decent, partly original piece was a leather corset worn over a plain jersey dress.
Entire collection here.
Thanks Cotourture for the pics.
