Ungaro Hires Giles Deacon

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News,

After about a month of speculation, Giles Deacon has now been confirmed as Emanuel Ungaro’s new creative director.

The British designer will replace Estrella Archs at the French fashion house, with his debut collection being presented during Paris Fashion Week in October, and he is confident about his new role.

“Yes, I’m totally aware and respectful of the pressure but at the same time, I’ve run my own business for eight years and worked in lots of places. I think as soon as you start worrying and thinking about that too much, you’re not concentrating on doing good work, which is the most important thing.”

Deacon - who is likely to stay away from the catwalk for the first two seasons - will continue to produce his own line and wants to bring his own touch to Ungaro.

“I obviously don’t want to infringe upon my own line, but I like things that are very feminine, lots of color, great prints, great quality, some unusual cuts. All of those things that I like in the world of fashion design I’m going to bring to what I feel is appropriate for the Ungaro woman.”

Lindsay Lohan Appointed Ungaro Adviser

Just when the rumors of hiring Lindsay Lohan at Ungaro died down, they have now been confirmed as she has been appointed “artistic adviser” for House of Emanuel Ungaro.

The Mean Girls actress, who already has her own range of leggings and fake tan, will work alongside Spanish designer Estrella Archs for the French fashion house and will be giving her own input on designs and styles.

Of her new role, Lindsay said, “I kind of oversee everything Archs does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas.”

The 23-year-old star also added she is confident of taking Ungaro to a “younger place” with a harder fashion edge.

Designer Amy Molyneux, who already works for the French label, said of the appointment, “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big. She does have an eye for fashion. I like the way she dresses. Her house is a mini-department store. She changes outfits five times a day.”

Again, where is the praise for the stylists who actually dress these celebrities, stocking that “mini-department store” with the clothes?

It had been reported Ungaro’s head designer had threatened to quit the fashion house if Lindsay was appointed; however, he recently said he would be staying “for now.”
