Passions run high with Lindsay and Ungaro fashion house.
It has been rumoured that Ungaro’s chairman is desperate to undo a contract with the actress as soon as possible.
As you probably remember Lindsay has been a fashion consultant for the label and helped to create the Spring-Summer 2010 collection. The line was called ‘a disaster’ by fashion journalists and experts. When the collaboration continued it caused a row with chairman Asim Abdullah and CEO Mounir Moufarrige.
A source told the New York Post:
Asim wants her out now. Department stores in the States have already told him they won’t be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it’s a serious issue. Mounir wants to keep her on because it was his idea to hire her in the first place. He’s trying to save face.”
The founder of the label, Emanuel Ungaro, who has no contact with the fashion house since his 2005 departure, said hiring Lindsay was a huge mistake.
He commented:
I am furious, but I can’t do anything about it. It is in the process of losing its soul.”
Well, this information hasn’t been confired by the label in any way. A spokesperson for Ungaro’s chairman denied any rift between him and Mounir.
The representative said:
Such an insinuation is totally absurd.”
But there is no smoke witout a fire. It is quite possible that the actress will be asked to leave. If it happens I’ll feel really sorry for her. To tell you the truth, I do feel sorry for her even now. iIt must be a real pressure to hear these things every day. Hope she won’t act the fool.
