Game Over for Ungaro and Giles Deacon

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

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.

More Nonsense From Paris

Edited by The Fashion Web

                         
The fashion industry is like network television. You can keep changing the channels, only to find utter nonsense filling the airwaves. In that same vain, you can go from fashion show to fashion show only to find utter nonsense filling the runways. The job of an editor these days, besides…

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…

Giles Deacon Named Creative Director of Ungaro

Edited by The Fashion Web

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.

JCReport editor Jason Campbell tweeted: It’s official Giles Deacon is in at Ungaro. Ungaro’s owner hopes to make the label sustainable and profitable by 2011, which is totally possible now that Lilo is out!

Lilo’s co-designer at Ungaro, Estrella Archs, has confirmed that she will be leaving the label “due to irreconcilable differences related to the creative direction of the brand.” Wonder why…

RUNWAY: Bebe/Kardashian Fall/Winter 2010

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

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.

Seems like things are starting to look bleak for Ungaro. The former fashion world favorite has made some poor decisions in the past (i.e Lindsay Lohan) and is now closing their Madison Avenue boutique.

Here’s the location:

Lindsay Lohan Fired From Ungaro?

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

“Asim wants her out now,” a fashion insider who has seen e-mails between the two executives tells Page Six. “Department stores in the States have already told him they won’t be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it’s a serious issue.”
