Emanuel Ungaro Calls Lindsay's Collab a Disaster

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:30:22 -0800

You weren't the only one hating Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Arch's heart pasties: Emanuel Ungaro despised them, too. The designer, who parted ways with his namesake label back in 2005, has kept mum about the collaboration - until now. In a recent press conference, Ungaro stated, "Lindsay Lohan's collaboration was a disaster. I am furious but I can't do anything about it."

Ungaro continues, stating that the Paris fashion house "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," said the designer. Sad.

21 Hair and Makeup Looks You WON'T Be Wearing Come Spring

BellaSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 04:00:01 -0700

From the runways onto department and drugstore shelves, I'm sure we'll see lots of fresh new makeup options and application techniques go full circle come March. Last month in New York, we saw six very wearable trends emerge, from peach lips to bold eyeliner to heavy-handed under-the-eye liners. But throughout the course of New York Fashion Week and other Spring 2010 shows, including Paris, London, and Milan, there were other looks that won't quite make the transition. Take this sequin forehead heart-shaped applique, for instance - straight from the Ungaro show in Paris, for which Lindsay Lohan acted as artistic adviser. While I appreciate each and every designer's artistic flair, some looks just won't translate to real life. See what I mean now.

Trend Alert: Classic Red Lips at Paris Fashion Week

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:00:00 -0700

When I think of French high fashion, I always imagine a beautiful woman with her hair pulled back wearing a perfectly tailored black outfit and strong red lips with a touch of black eyeliner. This classic Parisian look wasn't far off from what we've been seeing on the runways of of the 2010 Spring Paris Fashion Week Shows this week. I spied this look on the models at Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Dior, Devastee and Vivienne Westwood.

And if that's not enough of a reminder that this classic beauty look will always be in fashion, a handful of stunning celebrities have attended the French fashion shows wearing red lipstick too. To check out their photos, just read more.

High Fashion Ungaro Heart Pasties: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 04:50:22 -0700

Lindsay Lohan debuted her first advised collection for Emanuel Ungaro over the weekend. It's not half bad, though I still yearn for Esteban Cortezar's vivid prints and sassy draping. What I can see as a Lohan touch is this bedazzled heart pastie one of the models wore. It's done in an admittedly demure fashion, a little less blatant than Rihanna's Fourth of July star pastie. It helps that the white embroidered jacket is pretty gorgeous. But is it still totally tacky?

Paris Fashion Week, Spring 2010: Emanuel Ungaro

FabSugarUK — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:30:15 -0700

Emanuel Ungaro made a surprising decision in early September as they announced that Lindsay Lohan would be the new artistic adviser. She would work alongside chief designer Estrella Archs and they have been busy ever since putting the Spring collection together. The move was aimed at reviving the label and creating a younger vibe at the French fashion house, and they certainly achieved that. The line was shown yesterday as part of Paris Fashion Week and included some appealing minidresses. However, the fashion industry were not impressed, with Sarah Mower describing it as "a bad joke of a fashion show" and Fabion Baron bluntly stating, "We love Lindsay Lohan - as an actress. Period." Celebrity clothing lines definitely have their appeal and their place, but when they're charging over £1,000 for a dress, you would probably expect more technical knowledge. What do you think of the Spring line?

Lindsay Lohan Takes the Reins at Ungaro

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:02:10 -0700

Wow, the rumors were true. Promptly following Esteban Cortazar's exit from Ungaro, the fashion house has tapped Lindsay Lohan as its artistic adviser, alongside new chief designer Estrella Archs. Apparently, Ungaro's chief executive, Mounir Moufarrige, was looking to add excitement to the brand, and no doubt hiring Lindsay has definitely caught everyone's attention. "Odds are it could work," said Moufarrige. “I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big." Lohan and Archs are set to debut their first collection for Ungaro at Paris Fashion Week in October. Thoughts?

Fall Glimpse: Drape Escape

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

Draping is a classic fashion technique - we can learn this from studying Madame Grès and the Romans. This classic has been rejiggered, reworked, revitalized for Fall. From dramatic Givenchy draping (left) to delicate Wu draping, I'm going to have to plan on a drape escape come cozy time. From midnight hues to creamy ones, drapery is decidedly romantic; the way it moves furthers any woman's erotic appeal. Source: Getty

Final Verdict: Ungaro and Esteban Part Ways

FabSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:00:00 -0700

For a second there we thought the house of Ungaro and its creative director Esteban Cortazar might patch things up. Today it has been reported that they have parted ways due to a mutual agreement. The label, owned since 2005 by high-tech entrepreneur Asim Abdullah, plans on naming a successor soon, thought there is no word yet on who that will be. Considering Ungaro's chief executive officer Mounir Moufarrige once replaced Karl Lagerfeld with a 25-year-old Stella McCartney as head designer at Chloé in 1997, it might be an unexpected choice.

Celeb Style: Emmy Rossum

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:00:22 -0700

It's official. We have a girl crush on Emmy Rossum. At the LA premiere of Orphan, the actress showed off a stellar creation from Phi. This time, she kept the rad black ruching to a minimum and wore a black and white paisley print confection - I love the high neckline and structured shape. For footwear, the actress donned her favorite pair of Stuart Weitzman platform sandals. What a severe yet sweet look.

Trend Alert: Rad Black Ruching

FabSugar — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 05:50:22 -0700

What's rad? Ruching, that's what. It's an ancient sewing technique, and it's flattering powers are undeniable. Especially when it comes to a sexy, hot LBD with rad black ruching. If you don't already have one of these quick fix, every-occasion frocks, I suggest you consider. Look at how stunning Emmy Rossum looks in her architectural Emanuel Ungaro; she doesn't show a lot of skin, but it's somehow seriously sexy. OK, her black gladiator Stuart Weitzman sandals may have something to do with it too . . .
