Another Designer Leaves Ungaro!

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???

Estrella Gets The Eff Out Of Ungaro!

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???

6126 Prez Defends Lindsanity's Crappy Job At Ungaro

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!

Ungaro's Looking For New Designing Blood

Still trying to salvage what's left, are we?

On top of needing a buyer, Asim Abdullah, owner of Emanuel Ungaro is looking for a new designer for the fashion label that seems to be hanging by a thread thanks to Lindsay Lohan.

Thankfully this time around he's actually looking for someone who actually knows how to design.

Asim was spotted having lunch in Paris on Friday with designer Giles Deacon.

Both declined comment, but if a new designer does take the bait chief designer Estrella Archs will be out the door.

Good luck to both parties involved! You're going to need it!
