Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.According to industry sources, British designer Giles Deacon has been hired as the new creative head at Ungaro, following a long and painful downward spiral at the fashion house.
Young and promising designer Esteban Cortezar exited last year, presumably because he didn't want to work with troubled "it girl" Lindsay Lohan, who in turn was hired to collaborate with the Spanish unknown, Estrella Archs in Cortezar's stead.
What came out of this partnership was a collection shown at Paris fashion week last fall, which was almost unanimously pulled to pieces by the press and deemed a "disaster" by the brand's founder, Emanuel Ungaro (who nowadays isn't involved in the house's affairs).
Since then, Ungaro's CEO, Mounir Moufarrige, Lohan, and finally Estrella Archs all exited - voluntarily or not - with the latter quitting after rumors surfaced concerning Deacon's possible succession.
Now it has been confirmed by trusted fashion journalist, Jason Campbell ( JC Report) via Twitter that Deacon has indeed entered Ungaro's revolving door. First results of this brave man's work will be seen at the upcoming spring/summer shows Paris this fall.
