GILES DEACON HEADS UNGARO

Move over Lindsay Lohan--Giles Deacon is the new creative director of Emanuel Ungaro. The designer was appointed the head creative director of the brand Emanuel Ungaro in hopes of saving the brand's image after a tumultuous leadership under actress and celebrity Lindsay Lohan. The new appointment is bound to bring a close to an unsettled atmosphere at the French house that has reigned since Emanuel Ungaro himself retired in 2004. In the last six months alone we have seen Lindsay Lohan's contract as artistic adviser terminated, as well as those of the label's CEO Mounir Moufarriage and the brand's head designer Estrella Archs - but Deacon is confident that he can head up a new, positive era. Set to unveil his first Ungaro collection in Paris in October, Deacon--who will now have a new apartment in Paris but continue to divide his time between London, Italy and Paris(where he has shown his own line for the past two seasons). Deacon is thinking of keeping it clear of the catwalk for the first two seasons.
