Designer Giles Deacon has set out to do the impossible: rebuild what Lindsay Lohan destroyed of Emmanuel Ungaro.
The newly appointed chief designer has big plans for the defunct label. He told Grazia:
"Ungaro is one of the last three Houses on the Avenue Montaigne and I felt I wanted to bring back this feeling of vivaciousness, of Frenchness, of really sexy clothing that’s got that Ungaro thing about it."
Giles also says he hopes to bring back "quality…which I think it had kind of lost - for lots of reasons that have gone on over the last five years that we’re all very aware of. And amused by in various cases."
No need to beat around the bush, Giles. We all know you're talking about those heart-shaped pasties!
The brave soul also has a sense of humor about that whole Lindsay Lohan debacle last year. When asked if there were any traces of Lindsanity, Deacon responded with "I didn’t find one, no! No hair extensions, no!"
Ha!
The newly designed Ungaro collection will make its debut on October 4th during Paris Fashion Week.
We, along with the rest of the fashion world, can't wait to see what Giles created.

Somewhere Estrella Archs is snickering.
For some reason Giles Deacon took the bait and is officially in at Emanuel Ungaro.
Considering the label has practically hit rock bottom, there's no way Giles could ruin the label anymore than Lindsanity did.
A word of advice, don't do pasties!

When it rains, it pours!
Less than a week after Estrella Archs' departure, Emanuel Ungaro's menswear designer Franck Boclet is following in her footsteps and leaving the defunct label as well!
Like Estrella, Boclet will soon be starting his own men's label with an Italian industrial partner, which will debut this June during men's fashion week.
He tells WWD "I wanted to focus on basic luxury items at an interesting price point", which will be 20% lower than other luxury competitors.
Sounds like he has the right idea.
What else will go wrong for Ungaro this week???

It was only a matter of time.
Just a day after we mentioned Emanuel Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah was looking to bring in a new designer, current chief designer Estrella Archs announced she's leaving!
A spokesperson for the label said:
"Estrella Archs announces that she has left her job as chief designer of Emanuel Ungaro due to irreconcilable differences related to the creative direction of the brand. Estrella Archs will continue developing her own brand, established in 2007, and presenting her collections in the Paris Fashion Week."
Sure you want to get involved, Giles???

We thinketh the lady doth protest too much!
President of Lindsay Lohan's 6126 clothing line, Kristi Kaylor is defending the train wreck's disastrous role at Emanuel Ungaro.
Kristi tells the Los Angeles Times: "Lindsay was frustrated she didn't get to be as involved as she wanted to be."
Ha! Did she not see what craptastic shiz came down that runway!?
The delusional president adds:
"They (media) are so hard on her. There's such another story. I work with her, and she comes to every meeting on time. She's very engaged. In two years, she's never let me down. She's never not returned an email or phone call… She has a heart of gold. She just needs people to believe in her."
Never say never, Kristi!
But lets be honest, what other emails would Lindsay have to respond to? Certainly not any that concern her acting or singing career!
