After appointing the train wreck that is Lindsay Lohan to be artistic director, the people behind Emanuel Ungaro have come to their senses.

—Emanuel Ungaro, founder of the legendary French couture house, discusses his, er, slight disappointment over what’s become of his eponymous fashion line and Lindsay’s involvement in it. [Independent] Keep reading »
