I'm sure by now you are all caught up on the rumours about Giles Deacon and Emanuel Ungaro. In case you missed it, British designer (and a personal favourite of mine) Giles Deacon was spotted having lunch with the owner of Emanuel Ungaro earlier in the week. And then it was announced that Estrella Archs, who had designed for Ungaro alongside Lindsay Lohan, has left the label.
There has been no word yet on whether Giles will fill the Lindsay Lohan shaped hole at Ungaro, but it would definitely be interesting to see him design for another house alongside his own label Giles. His A/W 2010 collection was gorgeous as ever, with a sixties vibe and a scrummy colour palette of caramel, chocolate and orange.
One of my favourite details from the collection were the delicate bow-belts, worn predominately over little dresses that would look right at home in an episode of Mad Men. I think this a great little styling trick that you could work into your summer wardrobe to stay ahead of the game.
Ungaro himself did once say "I adore the British. They are the strangest people in the world and certainly the most exotic. And they do strange things too."
So maybe Giles is the right man for the job. Whatever happens I hope he keeps his namesake label going, as he's one of my favourite British designers.
What do you make of the rumours? And do you think Giles is a good fit for Emanuel Ungaro? I think it goes without saying he will be a lot better than Lindsay Lohan, but is there another designer you'd like to see at Ungaro instead?
