Emanuel Ungaro Appoints Estrella Archs as Chief Designer and Lindsay Lohan as
Artistic Advisor, Effective Immediately
NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Designer Estrella Archs has been named Chief Designer of the House of
Ungaro. Lindsay Lohan will also be joining Ungaro in a newly created position
as Artistic Advisor. Both Ms. Archs and Ms. Lohan have been collaborating on
the Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection unveiling on October 4, 2009 during
Paris Fashion Week.
They will work together using their combined talent, instincts and
intuition to define and promote the Ungaro brand, thus replacing the
established mold of designer-only led fashion with a new vision of designer
and consumer-led fashion.
"Twenty-first Century muses are extroverts whose personal style and
experience gives them a strong creative and artistic focus. Thus was our
vision of combining the eye of a fashion creator (Ms. Archs) with the eye of
the ultimate luxury consumer, a celebrity (Ms. Lohan)," says Mounir
Moufarrige, President of Emanuel Ungaro worldwide. "Mr. Ungaro's success was
based on his genius for design and his controversial eye to whom his consumer
was," says Mr. Mouffarige. "Lindsay is a world consumer with a clear eye for
fashion."
Ms. Archs has worked for Nina Ricci and Emilio Pucci, under the artistic
direction of Christian Lacroix, as well as for Miuccia Prada at Prada upon
completing her Master's degree at Central Saint Martins in London. "I was
attracted to her high talent, fashion experience and design sophistication,"
says Mr. Moufarrige. "Estrella's interpretation of the Ungaro woman clearly
reflects the brand's DNA."
