Over a month after being hammered by the press for her disastrous debut at Paris Fashion Week, the bad reviews just keep coming for Lindsay Lohan. But now Lohan—who was the artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro’s recent collection—is now being criticized by the man who founded the fashion house himself. At the Estoril Film Festival in Lisbon, Portugal, Ungaro said the collection “was a disaster,” adding, “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house. Ungaro parted ways with the house in 2005, when he sold it to an investment fund, according to People Magazine. “This happens to a lot of designers,” the 76-year-old said. “We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.” Meanwhile, Style.com reports Neiman Marcus and Net-A-Porter have decided to stop selling Ungaro’s spring 2010 line. (People)
