Emanuel Ungaro: LiLo's Debut "A Disaster," Fashion House "Losing Its Soul"
Posted on Wed Nov 11, 2009 05:01 PM PDT

Ouch!
Just when you thought Lindsay Lohan wasn't getting enough bad press for her fashion adviser role with the Emanuel Ungaro label... Emanuel Ungaro himself now tells reporters at a Lisbon film festival that LiLo's show was "a disaster" and that he's "furious, but I can't do anything about it."
Ungaro left the house in 2005 and has had no contact with them since. He goes on to say the following:
- "Ungaro is in the process of losing its soul. That happens to a lot of designers. We were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our souls."
Poor Linds! Girl can't catch a break. Which begs the question...
Eh, I dunno anymore with LiLo.

THANKS TO THE CONVICT LOOSER MIKE LOWLIFE WHO IS UGLY LIKE MARALYN HE PUT THE ICING ON HAVING ANY RELATIONSHIP EVER WITH HIS KIDS..THEY ALL HATE HIM..THEY KNOW THE TRUTH WHAT A PIECE OF GARBAGE HE IS..MR CHEATER BEATER WOMEN PROSTITUTE ABUSER...G F Y S..MIKE ONLINE IS A TART ISNT IT FUNNY EVERYONE WHO ASSOCIATES WITH HIM REALISE WHAT CRAP HE IS..BYE ERIN ,JON,,CHURCH MINISTER ?? GO HIT A POLE AND JOIN Y FATHER IN HELL..
It's not poor her. She's made her choices. Anyone not in the media who acts the way she does doesn't get pity, only scorn. Actors are just actors. They're not great humanitarians (although some proclaim to be) or curing cancer.
Sigh, now she has failed in Paris (it's, um, not so great for the founder of the fashion house you are "advising" to go on record saying she "was a disaster.”
and, “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do."
Once again, the arrogance of dimwitted Lohan and the neglect of her managers and handlers and the shamelessness of the enablers hanging on to her in her vapid,myopic little world have led to another embarrassing failure.
And at some point, you burn too many bridges and can't come back.
Lindsay's multi-talented; she's one of the best actresses of her generation, she's a good performer, is a very good dancer, she has great sense of fashion, can model, well she's good in a lot of things.
And c'mon, her influence on this first Ungaro collection is minimal. Just before Paris fashion week she became ungaro's artistic adviser, Estrella designed the clothes in 3 weeks. Now everyone is blaiming Lindsay, cause she's the famous one and always a target in the press. It's so cheap! She can never do it right. Yes, she can't catch a break, cause everyone likes to talk sh-t about her, no matter what she does. It's pretty unfair.

5:13 CODY SHUT THE F**K UP YOU LITTLE PIECE OF SHIT!! COMMENT AGAIN AND I WILL HAVE GRANDMA MARALYN THROW HER PEANUTS AT YOUR LITTLE SKANKY LOHAN ASS
I live in Portugal and I didn't heard anything about it!
That's bullshit!
Beautiful pic of her btw. Love the white dress.
Well maybe if she did the right thing like not party her ass off and get all fcuked up and ran around shopping while she was there acting like a hot shot tipping the paps off to her every move.This wouldnt be the case.
Once again Lindsay has no one else to blame but herself
Case Closed
Heres to a BIG kiss off on that Shoe-han line..Bye Bye
Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige owes Emanuel Ungaro an apology for tarnishing his name with the ridiculous hiring of Blohan.
Eyes all blood shot and glassy yeah shes a mess
Guess Charlette Ronson is laughing hard Lindsay shouldnt of thrown her stones now there trowing back at her.
Oh wait isnt that KARMA!!!!
File this under Tell Us Something We Didn't Already Know.
5:33 LOL
Girlfriend is having a rough month, she needs check out, clean up, and do something else with her life before she is all-washed up completely.
(and she hasn't even bottomed out just yet either, she's still in denial and totally delusional).
Everyone's taking a big, stank dump on Hohan this month.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.
well, isn't it funny. first the media says her role as fashion advisor means nothing. now all of a sudden it's Lilo's show and she's 100% responsible for the collection...yeah right. She always gets bad press. she isn't even the head designer people. she's only there to promote and to give her opinion and share her ideas, just advising. and i think she's very good in it, cause she knows a lot about fashion and is a fashion icon herself. Even people at project runway were impressed by her knowledge about fashion. i don't know, it's just silly, the press already turned the collection down before the show even started. it's becoming a little pathetic. and it was the first time that a celeb had a position inside a fashion house. So probably some fashion insiders weren't pleased about that change in the fashion world. So what better way then to criticize lindsay and LINDSAY ONLY.
lol why would you ever hire hohan?
did sales even go up for the brand after this mess?
Lindsay looks like such a hag in the pic.
they can say what they want, but she knows how to dress; she has great style
lol
i saw this on the news a few days ago when he said it. that's gotta hurt, even though he sold it for big bucks, you would assume a Paris fashion house like that would not hire a D-list addict with a trashy fashion style as an adisor.
Maybe fungus firecrotch can be the spokesperson for some fungus cream?
Lindsay should honestly just come with a General Surgeon warning on her face.
Lindsay's fashionable - she will make it in the fashion industry - even her own line sell like crazy.
5:44 NO, sales from that show were very, very flat.
We love you, Ungaro. And we are sorry your name has been tarnished.
Maybe fungus firecrotch can be the spokesperson for some fungus cream?
Safe to say, Linds will be out tonight getting bombed.
When is she going to start doing porn?

I’m saddened for Emanuel Ungaro. He was born into a humble family and became at designer at 22. He built a fabled fashion house spanning five decades prior to retiring and selling the house bearing his name. Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige owes Emanuel Ungaro an apology for tarnishing his name. Estrella Arch is a promising young designer. Her signature line received rave reviews. She will survive this fiasco.
All she wants is attention and for people to talk about her like she is a real celebrity, she will waste all of her money trying to impress the people back home that never liked her so she can say "look where I am and your not". She is one of those people that like to rub in people’s faces her fame. That is why so many people dislike her. She doesn't do anything with her status to help others; all she cares about is herself. I feel this was about most actors and actresses, they make all this money and they can help out a lot of charities and the needy, but they are all so selfish and care more about how big their home is, what kind of vehicle they driving and never once think about what they can do to help others. The only person I think that cares to help the world out is Ellen. I think that actors are over paid. Nobody needs the kind of money they have, what makes them think that they are all that special they are worth 12,000,000.00 a film. Come on! The way Lindsey goes through money her millions will be gone in no time.
PacificCoastNews last night and NO she was not at Leo's Party she was with the creepy scum Patrick her drug dealer
Should Lindsay Lohan quit the fashion thing and return to acting?
The UK Times interviewed Emanuel Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige. When asked about the disastrous reviews, he said, “They knifed us.” The report states, “Moufarrige won’t reveal her pay package, saying only that it is “quite enough. It’s expensive”. Given her unpredictability, it is also a risk. Her fragility, says Moufarrige, “has been factored in”. It needs to be. “
Hmmm...
Moufarrige probably made certain the contract contained a clause to pay the contract and terminate her association with the fashion house as a noisemaker. I doubt Lindsay will be able to return to acting because she is unreliable and burned too many bridges. She was a talented child actor and did not mature into an equally talented adult actor. Directors and producers are more likely to cast a talented, reliable actress than cast Lindsay and risk cost overruns and production shutdowns.
Fashion houses and film studios are businesses not charities.
I really like lilo's style and clothing. Press was too hard for her.
Can I have my twitter back
I LOVE the dress
Lindsay was 100% responsible for sending pasties down the catwalk!
6:07 So you like tasteless street walker clothes is that what your saying??
don't worry Linds, I'll be your twitter follower.
Her career has been over for awhile now and theres no comeback she dug a hole way to deep
I cant wait for Micheal to Blast Mummy in her LIES again tomorrow. Good Job Mike you are proving Dina is a big fat Liar..And a horrible mother to turn away and walk away from her daughters needs.
I could never look at my daughters arm and say thats ok everythings fine. Dina Lohan needs to seek help also.cause waht she dose is sick sick sick
Good night
From New York Magazine:
Estrella Archs Doesn’t Do a Bad Job Designing Without Lindsay Lohan
Not everyone hated the spring 2010 Emanuel Ungaro collection. Bloomingdale's vice-president and fashion director Stephanie Solomon told WWD, “I know it sounds a bit controversial, but we loved Ungaro and its sexy, draped minidresses in vibrant, happy colors. Estrella Archs is a talent to watch." We feel bad for Estrella, who is, let's not forget, doing the actual designing at Ungaro. Her résumé alone, which boasts work experience at Hussein Chalayan, Emilio Pucci, Prada, and Nina Ricci, certainly suggests she has talent. Sadly, her capabilities have been overshadowed by Ungaro artistic adviser Lindsay Lohan and the glitter heart-shaped nipple pasties and glitter heart-shaped forehead stickers that walked down the runway in the house's spring 2010 show, prompting critics to label it a disaster. However, she presented her spring 2010 collection for her namesake line in Paris yesterday. And she did a good job! The clothes are simple, but she certainly has a point of view. And if the critics are looking for someone to blame for the nipple-pastie flub at Ungaro, they might note Archs's namesake line included no pasties (just good old-fashioned nipples showing through sheer fabric). Glitter and hearts were also absent, for that matter. And you know what else is really interesting?
Estrella looks startlingly happier after her namesake-collection show than walking the runway with Lindsay at Ungaro. But that's understandable when the Ungaro office must now operate like this:
[Lohan] picked up a black and white scarf and tied it around her head, then replaced it with a black one, and then clumsily stuck a red sequin-covered heart to the side of her head while a team of designers watched her...
“This is just so cool,” Ms. Lohan said, turning her attention to a white minidress splattered with sequins. “It needs more rhinestones, just so it pops.” Off to the seamstress it went. Pointing to another white dress, she said: “I call it Michelle Pfeiffer in ‘Scarface.’ I was just in my office sketching for next season. I was here until, like, one o’clock last night.”
Poor Estrella.

The pictures are worth a thousand words!
The New York Magazine photos show Archs sleek, contemporary design (top photos), a “startlingly happier” designer taking a bow for her well-received signature line (bottom left photo), and an embarrassed designer taking a bow with an albatross tied around her neck following the Ungaro show (bottom right photo).

6:14 wheres the proff she paid for that dress huh
She was given clothes instead of money for this gig
Now once again shut your twat face pie hole up cnut
6:20 Thank You Thank You thats why Lindsay keep twittering she missed paris they didnt want her back..
Good Job on this one letting us know
Thanks again
5:23 Hey Portugal aka a Lohan still think this is bullshit
GREAT woman GREAT fashion sense
Chanel managed to find a good designer, so did many other fashion houses.
Ungaro should have known better than to hire an inexperienced girls with addiction problems.
It's their own fault IMO.
fact that no top director,producer,casting director would touch her with a 10 foot pole,
proves her career is over..girl is just a joke and a tabloid freak-show.
all the attention in the world,but no peace of mind.
Funny Monster Mother got her Shoe-han deal by useing the fact that lilo was a advisor for Ungaro hummmm think Love My Shoes will drop her line now that they know Monster mother is a liar
6:28 You’re welcome. Fashion designers, fashion writers and retail buyers know their business. The noisemaker is out of her element!
@5:40
Lindsay herself stated that it was HER show.
Ungaro built a great fashion house and since 2005 it has been slowly destroyed. Now Lohan is destroying it further. I agree with Monsieur Ungaro. People get your head out of your asses, loving shopping does not make anyone qualified to be a fashion advisor. People go to fashion college and work very, very hard to be fashion advisors. This isn't acting, where you need to know nothing and Hollywood will hire you.
If I were Lindsay, I would quit Ungaro, leave Hollywood and clean myself out and then come back and make a come back. Unfortunately she doesn't have any sense and is going to continue on her road of ridicule and disaster. But then, that's her own choice and fault.
Lindsay why are you having so much trouble shaking your addictions?
6:40 I love what you wrote but quit Ungaro I think they have moved on without her and she never had a real passion there. Just a noise maker passion that didnt work
Emanuel Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige made a huge mistake allowing his noisemaker to have ANY input on the collections. Chief designer, Estrella Arch studied fashion design. She has worked for Prada, Ricci and Pucci among others. Her signature line was well received. Arch must despise being shackled to the noisemaker.
Correction: Archs
Estralla must be so happy that Lindsay is not returning
The designer Estrella Archs was born in Barcelona.
Estrella completed her Masters at Central Saint Martins in London, where she graduated with honours. She then worked for some of the most well known international fashion houses before establishing her own label.
Estrella worked for Hussein Chalayan, Nina Ricci, Cacharel, Emilio Pucci with Christian Lacroix, and Prada. She also worked as a fashion journalist for spanish Vogue and collaborated with artist Daniel Firman on projects for some of the world’s most important art collections.
Estrella loves playing with new, pure forms within a highly feminine, sensual and poetic style. Her apparent simplicity is an artistic expression highlight a woman’s personal value and allure.
http:// www.estrellaarchs.com/?page=designer
Dina claims she has a "Parenting" book in the making think anyone will pick up and read her crock of shit now that the world knows she more horrible than we thought
6:52 Did I miss an announcement?
@6:58
Mommy Dearest?
Why didn't they just hire her to advertise in mags like all others do with actresses/celebs ?
Trying to get anyone to believe that Lindsay would actually design in her condition was really stretching it.
Whoever got her that gig walked right into a set-up it seems. Most of us could see this right from the start.
6:41 Is that Toxic Mother in the house
6:20 Thank You Thank You thats why Lindsay keep twittering she missed paris they didnt want her back.. Good Job on this one letting us know Thanks again
I read your comment again. Twitter? I don't know what that has to do with anything. Did you post at 6:52 too? If you did, you're jumping to conclusions. Neither the UK Times nor New York Magazine said she wasn't returning. However, I hope the Emanuel Ungaro contract contains a clause for her termination. It’s unfair to allow her to negatively impact Estrella Archs career.
7:07 Does she still use momager?
Just curious. Did the term 'noisemaker' come from an actual quote, or was it just someone's accurate description of her?
Oh so true let Estrella do her thing and shine without Black Cloud Lohan recking it for you
Go Estrella show the world you dont need the noise maker
Women's Wear Daily (aka The Fashion Bible) interviewed Emanuel Ungaro’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige. He said, “Odds are it could work,” Moufarrige said, disclosing the appointments [Estrella Archs and Lindsay Lohan] exclusively to WWD. “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.”
More from the WWD interview:
Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, is already relishing the prospect of that image running in newspapers and on Web sites around the world, bringing a lightning bolt of attention — good, bad or otherwise — to a French brand that has severely lacked it as it endured a revolving door of designers and lackluster collections.
“Odds are it could work,” Moufarrige said, disclosing the appointments exclusively to WWD. “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.”

Well, I guess noisemaker was a logical step from there! Thanks!
I prefer to call her Emanuel Ungaro’s little noisemaker! :)
The Ungaro people used Lindsay Lohan to generate press about their line. They knew she knew nothing about designing clothing. They got publicity, undoubtedly foresaw that it would be negative, but that makes for a great comeback for their fashion line. It's all calculated and unworthy of discussion.
I would love to have seen the look on Anna Wintour’s face when she saw glitter heart-shaped nipple pasties and glitter heart-shaped forehead stickers coming down the catwalk! LOL
It's all calculated and unworthy of discussion.
She signed the contract, didn't she?
Oh and 7:50, it’s obvious you didn’t bother to read WWD interview with Mounir Moufarrige. Lindsay Lohan was interviewed too. She knew exactly why Emanuel Ungaro hired someone with absolutely no experience in the fashion industry. She tried to use her famous name to change professions. It failed.
Blohan continually throws those around her under the bus when done with them and then moves on to a new set of enablers.
She is reviled in the industry and shunned by the LA and NYC social sets.
BLOHO: " :( i want more followers"
Glad Sam is done with BloHo and her bottom feeder family.
And Scarlett in D&G ads---looking STUNNING.
(BloHo, note there is no use of a stripper pole in Scarlett's photos.)
Heard from a reliable source that there's a LL and Ed Hardy collaboration coming soon.
SHE'S GOING TO END UP LIKE ANOTHER COURTNEY LOVE, MELANIE GRIFFITH, SHAUNA SANDS OR AT BEST, PAM ANDERSON.
Goooooooooo Linds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m a workaholic. I don’t know what to do when I’m not working. I get creatively frustrated.”
Lindsay adds: “I am the hardest-working person I know.”
8:52--LOL---we never get tired of reading those quotes!
(but, sadly, she probably IS the hardest-working person she knows!)
I doubt Christian Audigier would put pen to paper.
it's like EVERYONE is backstabbing her at the moment -- pretty disgusting!
The truth is better than denial and lies.
910
Well darling, she is reaping what she has
sown.
Denial, excuses and lies enabled her chaotic life. I prefer knowing the truth too.
they got her because she works cheap.........
jeez she went down on some chick a leo's party for 2000
ungaro proably paid airfare, hotel, meth, adderal and some budwieser......and got all this press
New York Magazine - The Cut
Emanuel Ungaro Thinks Lindsay Lohan Is Robbing His Label of Its Soul
Ungaro said he regretted that the fashion house he started "is in the process of losing its soul. That happens to a lot of designers. We were the creators and patrons, responsible for the creation and destiny of our houses. But when we gave up our houses, we gave up our souls."
So, Lindsay is like a fashion succubus.
Meanwhile, rumors are still circulating about the label not paying Lindsay and possibly dismissing her after one season, "because she has been talking to the press and making up excuses." Yeah, we can see how her saying words to reporters wouldn't play out well.
http:// bit.ly/2zUb3G
So, Lindsay is like a fashion succubus. LOL!
if lindsay is the 'hardest working person she knows' she better get out more.....like to the clubs and stuff becuase that's were hardworking people hang out ....
What Mr Ungaro failed to mention is his label was on a downward spiral. They have had several designers before Estrella and none of them were capable to put the label on the map. Lindsay was hired as an "artistic advisor" she and Estrella had 3 weeks to prepare the collection which was just stupid! Designers usually take up to 3 months to prepare.
BTW, whoever heard of the Ungaro label before Lindsay? not many I guarantee.
I believe Lindsay will be going to Paris in December to prepare for the fashion show in January. Say what you like haters, the girl has a fashion style and looks great in her latest pics.
If you don't want to see or hear anymore about Lindsay, ask x17 to stop printing shit, or stop coming onto the Lindsay Lohan thread...Morons.
Lindsay and Sam are still together unfortunately, I wish Lindsay would dump the emotional cripple, she is good for nothing except hanging onto her mummys coat tails, a 32 year old child.
RADAR ONLINE NEW TAPE
Ungaro and Gossip cop Has there Noise Maker
Radaronline has there Noise Maker

I feel sorry for her assitant
Perezhilton on twittter
@LindsayLohan you are talking real crazy tonight are you hopped up on Adderral again
I think its great that ML is trying to kick LL and MM off there high horses. They both need a reality check.
Say what you want about the guy but it least he's in the real world and knows LL needs help..
I thought it was great that he felt the judge should of never let her go,cause she shouldnt of espically just the way she looked it was clear that she was high and out of it.
GO MICHEAL LOHAN HELP YOUR DAUGHTER!!!NO ONE ELSE IS..
BLOHO:
" :( i want more followers"
so right on the money that ungaro hired
her for the publicity,knew it would be negative and get a lot of attention from people being shocked that they would hire her,of all people...it certainly had nothing to do with her "celebrity status".
cause everyone knows that...that ain't so good.
Blohan continually throws those around her under the bus when done with them and then moves on to a new set of enablers.
She is reviled in the industry and shunned by the LA and NYC social sets.
She sadly deserves all the negativity being heaped on her.
Nobody had ever heard of Ungaro before Lindsay.
Now everyone has heard of Ungaro.
She is a horrible actress, never even took an acting class and a string of flops/bad performances, she is a crap fashion "consultant", again, never educated herself in fashion aside from looking like a white trash whore. She can't sing, her album was a joke. Simply she is a dumb skank who is good at nothing. Even clubs won't hire her for their openings. She is a broke poser, who's only claim to fame is her bad habits, her smell, and her talent to steal. She is Jersey trash and should go home and find a true guido to match her looks and personality. Ungaro hiring her was a disaster and it won't happen again in that or any other industry. Next stop, flipping burgers at White Castle.
Nobody ever heard about Ungaro ?
And Ungaro himself is getting money from Lindsay's publicity ?! :)
Emanuel Ungaro is one of the most brilliants fashion designers of all time and he sold his fashionhouse in 2005, so he isn't taking any more money from what the houseungaro sells !
Helloooo, are you living in the real world or in empty celebrity one ?
7:37 - you know nothing about fashion if you believe that. Once it was sold off, it declined. The Lohan "involvement" made them the joke of the fashion industry. She didn't help, she brought them down to depths never seen before. I suggest you educate yourself on the fashion industry, before you make stupid comments about the influence of a little brat on a company. Her contributions were a disaster.
Lilow must have the skin of a rhino. Who else can tolerate so much ridicule and public disdain?
7:37, you're an idiot. Ungaro was extremely successful and iconic in the world of fashion. The non talented d-lister only brought down the house. I agree with 7:45/6, what world do you live on?
Her skin looks like a Rhino, crusty, full of botox, ragged, and very rough. She deserves all of the bad press. She was lucky to even be in a single movie or in the press at all. She is a drugged up, drunk slut who has been a disrespectful bitch to everyone she has associated with. Her career is so over.
I live in Portugal, I was there, I wrote about this in my blog (brancainpura).
Emanuel Ungaro was horrified about the collaboration of HouseUngaro with 'starlets', instead of Stars.
Ungaro worked with, for and inspired by many Moviestars in his career in Haute Couture.
But there is a difference between the glamourous and talented Stars, and paparazzi's starlets like Lindsay Lohan ... and there is were one losts his soul... :)
7:40
Don't forget that she can whip up a pretty good milkshake and is not bad on a stripper pole.
She scares the crap out me. She looks like a walking corpse. She's in her twenties and her skin is way worse than mine and I am in my mid 30's.
I suppose the upside is, if I ever feel bad about aging, I can just look at Linds and convince myself I still look better than a few twenty somethings!
I guess you really can find the perks of facing your fears! haha
