Last October, former Hollywood “It” Girl and current trainwreck Lindsay Lohan made her debut in the Fashion world as creative director for the the Emanuel Ungaro fashion house. Lindsay, in her capacity as creative director, had a hand in every single look that walked down the runway at that show. As a result, Emanuel Ungaro himself (who is no longer involved with running his design house) publicly called his company’s collaboration with Lohan a “disaster” … and many people agreed. It would seem that the powers that be at Ungaro have come to their senses and decided to sever ties with La Lohan … who confirmed this week that she “don’t work for [Ungaro] anymore”:

Actress Lindsay Lohan confirmed to WWD that she is no longer part of Ungaro’s design team. At Monday afternoon’s Kenzo show, Lohan was asked why she hadn’t been at Ungaro earlier that morning. She replied: “Because I don’t work for them anymore.” Prompted for more specifics, she noted, “There’s legal things going on; I can’t really discuss it.” After hiring Lohan last year, former Ungaro CEO and President Mounir Moufarrige told WWD, “Designer-led fashion is likely not to be enough. It’s a slow process going the traditional route.” Moufarrige stepped down last December and declined to comment on Lohan and Ungaro when reached on Monday.

And so … all is right, once again, in the Fashion world. Ya know, I’m all for Lindsay Lohan gettin’ her shizz straight and putting her life back together in a positive way but she really has no biz meddling with the work of famed design houses like Ungaro. It was a risky move to name her creative director but, as we saw, it was a move that did not pan out. I would’ve been shocked if Ungaro had decided to keep her on as an employee … this move is in their best interests, I’m certain of it. BUT, never you fear ye fans of Lohan Fashion … don’t forget that L. Lo has announced that she is launching her OWN LINE OF CLOTHING … so with or without Ungaro, she’s gonna keep trying to make the fashion thing work. I wish her well … but hold no hope for success. Homegirl needs to settle down for a while, chill out and just stop. It’s so sad to watch her slow degradation continue to move forward unfettered :(

Lindsay Lohan, actress turned entrepreneur, was hand to host a holiday party for her staff at her leggings line 6126 in Beverly Hills, CA last night and made sure to wear a pair of her leggings … a ratty, ripped up pair, mind you. As Lindsay celebrated, word broke that the head of design house Emanuel Ungaro (the person who hired Lindsay to be the brand’s Fashion Director) quit his job … does this mean that Linds will lose her job at Ungaro?

The president of foundering Paris-based label Emanuel Ungaro — who hired Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan last season in what critics decried as a desperate move to revive the flagging brand — has stepped down, the fashion house said in a statement Wednesday. Lebanese-born businessman Mounir Moufarrige is leaving “in order to devote more time to his other businesses, namely, in the watch and jewelry industry,” the statement said. A press officer for the Ungaro said Moufarrige, who joined the label in 2006, will continue to serve on its strategic committee as an adviser on an “as-needed basis.” Moufarrige has made a specialty out of reviving semi-dormant brands: His achievements include turning the Montblanc pen into a cult object and hiring then-little known designer Stella McCartney at Chloe, which has since become a hot label for the under-40s set. Once favored by Hollywood’s elite, Ungaro had been bleeding money since its founder retired in 2004. However, Moufarrige struggled to turn the label around, and his attempts to appeal to younger consumers appeared to grow ever more desperate as the years ticked by. The house became a revolving door, as Moufarrige hired and fired designer after designer. Critically hailed wunderkind Esteban Cortazar, who joined Ungaro in 2007 at age 23, left just weeks before last October’s spring-summer 2010 collections. Moufarrige replaced him with young Spanish designer Estrella Archs and brought on as artistic adviser “Freaky Friday” star Lohan — who, despite having her own line of leggings, is more noted for her regular appearances in tabloids than her design ability. The result was disastrous. The runway show ended in a scrum, with hundreds of journalists vying for shots of Lohan, who appeared dazed under the lights of the flashbulbs. Critics ravaged the hastily thrown together collection of ultra mini dresses and skintight pants paired with pasties. Wednesday’s brief statement said Ungaro vice president Marie Fournier has been named general manager “to oversee all operations.” It did not provide any further details.

Yeeeeeeeeeah … I’m thinkin’ Lindsay better hold on tight to that leggings line of hers if she wants to remain in the world of “Fashion”. I’m guessing Ungaro will be dropping her from their payroll post haste … that ship is sinking, 86ing the anchor known as L. Lo would be a wise move. Ah well … it was good well, bad while it lasted. Better luck next time, Linds.

In early October, Lindsay Lohan made her debut as “creative director” for the Emanuel Ungaro design house and was met with harsh criticism from the Fashion press … but the harshest critic yet, it turns out, is retired designer Emanuel Ungaro himself. In a new interview, Ungaro expresses how furious he is that his company put their design plans in Lindsay‘s hands … calling the whole collabo a “disaster”. Ouch!

The namesake and founder of Emanuel Ungaro has added his voice to the chorus of critics attacking Lindsay Lohan’s debut for the famed fashion house at its spring/summer 2010 show. “[Her] collaboration was a disaster,” Ungaro told the U.K.’s Independent of Lohan’s first efforts as artistic adviser alongside designer Estrella Archs. “I am furious but I can’t do anything about it.” The designer, who retired in 2004, said he worried that his former line was “in the process of losing its soul.” Emanuel further lamented that the problems weren’t just at his own line. “This 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 soul,” he said.

Ugh … well, at least Ungaro can look on the bright side — he’s not alone in asserting that Lindsay‘s Fashion debut was a disaster … unfortch for him, tho, he no longer has a say in what goes on at his namesake company. Poor thing.

Lindsay Lohan, who has been tapped as “creative director” for the Emanuel Ungaro design house, was on hand to present her work at Paris Fashion Week earlier today at Le Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France and by pretty much most accounts … it was a travesty. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone who found the Ungaro Spring 2010 line (apparently created from Lindsay‘s direction) fashionable … or even kinda good. Women’s Wear Daily brings us one of the first reviews of the Ungaro show and, well, like the clothes that walked the runway … it wasn’t pretty. Here are photos of Lindsay taking her bows on the runway and the review from WWD:

Lindsay, it’s time to get serious about reviving the acting career. After just one season, one show, Mounir Moufarrige’s Lindsay-plus-one experiment is off to a troubled start. Lindsay Lohan, the house’s “creative director,” and designer Estrella Archs, (who probably got the job in part for her willingness to sketch in Lohan’s shadow, and probably took it for its high-profile heritage), made their joint debut on Sunday in an effort that was, quite simply, an embarrassment. To be fair, there was something of a “Mean Girls” motif at play. The fashion world, or at least its old-fashioned, traditional arm, greeted the Lohan appointment with endless snickers and rolled eyes. Its members expected, perhaps even hoped for, the proverbial train wreck. And so it came, a collision of fashion, controversial celebrity and massive publicity that resulted in the most frenzied door scene we’ve seen in years, especially at the geezer venue Carrousel du Louvre, as well as a beefed-up photographers’ pit. As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated, as has often been the case chez Ungaro during the post-Emanuel revolving door of designers. Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and “creative directed” by another. Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies? As for Lohan, she’ll weather the criticism, hardly her first or her juiciest, and move on when her contract allows. But Archs has her work cut out for her. Backstage after the show, she said the collection “had to be designed very quickly.” Perhaps that was the problem. This storied house has been in disarray for years, and though Archs’ debut provided no indication that she’s up to the challenge, she should be given the chance to find out without a younger, nonskilled judge with theoretical veto power hovering about. (Let’s just say the ladies’ joint bow didn’t radiate chemistry.) No one ever said fashion design is brain surgery. It’s a different discipline altogether. But it is indeed a discipline and a commercial art, a fact variously muted and underscored by the celebrity infiltration of the last decade. And like brain surgery — yes, like brain surgery and all disciplines at which people work for years to develop proficiency — it has its rare geniuses and capable practitioners, all of whom must possess talent, skill and dedication. Being a young, pretty, controversial woman who looks good in clothes and photo ops just isn’t enough.

So … just how fug are these Ungaro designs overseen by Lindsay Lohan‘s creative prowess? After the jump, check out some of the designs that made their way down the runway and judge for yourselves …
