Quote of the Day: Miuccia Prada on Husband Patrizio Bertelli

“He [Bertelli] says that we are snobs and that we don’t understand pop culture… He and I have a little rule of three. If he says something more than three times, then I need to think about it. Sometimes I don’t want to listen, but I do… We work hard. It’s always an intense relationship, and it’s exhausting having to work with him. But I admire and respect him… It’s a war in here every minute, and to be part of this company, you have to be trained.”

- Fashion designer Miuccia Prada on her husband and chief executive of Prada, Patrizio Bertelli

Mounir Moufarrige Quits Ungaro

Mounir Moufarrige has quit his job at the House of Emanuel Ungaro.

The Lebanese-born businessman - who had been the chief executive officer of the fashion label since 2006 - has left the company so he can focus on his other business interests.

Moufarrige has come under huge pressure recently after bringing Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan in as artistic director of the brand. The 23-year-old star’s debut line for the French fashion house was a critical flop when it was launched earlier this year.

While his focus will be on his other work, Moufarrige will apparently still remain a member of the company’s strategic committee and will oversee certain project and decisions. Marie Fournier has been named as Ungaro’s new general manager and will keep an eye on the running of the business.

Last month, Moufarrige defended his decision to ask Lindsay to get on board the company. He said, “We’ve got a celebrity and it’s a new concept, which we’re going ahead with. Ungaro, let’s recognize it, was a dormant brand, and now everybody’s talking about it today, so the level of awareness has improved greatly.”
