Esteban Cortazar Quits After Lindsay Lohan Joins Emanuel Ungaro
Esteban Cortazar has made good on his threat to leave Emanuel Ungaro. Lindsay Lohan has officially joined the Ungaro team after months of rumors of her impending role with the company. In early June, Hollywood Dame reported the whispers of Lohan’s talks with the fashion house (click here to see that full report).
“According to multiple sources, [she is] talking to the House of Emanuel Ungaro about signing on as a “creative consultant” for the fashion line. But the current head designer of Ungaro, Esteban Cortazar, is not greeting the rehabbed starlet with open arms.”
Back when the company was still undecided about Lindsay’s involvement with the label the head designer had reportedly threatened to quit should Lohan be hired on.
“Upon hearing the new the label was even considering hiring Lindsay, Esteban threatened to leave the fashion house and take his team with him. The owner of the line, Asim Abdullah, seems to think she’d bring “new energy and new buzz.” Unless he is talking Red Bull -energy and a vodka -buzz, I don’t think she’d bring much to the table except remnants of last night’s Taco Bell run.”
Esteban has left and become another statistic in the company‘s revolving doors. Lindsay was hired on as artist advisor. Estrella Archs (who has worked for Nina Ricci, Emilio Pucci, Christian Lacroix and Prada) was named chief designer.
Oy. This is like putting band-aid on Titanic.

Nice shirt she has on. Apparently she doesn’t know how to read or she’d be taking her own advice.
