They will work together using their combined talent, instincts and intuition
to define and promote the Ungaro brand, thus replacing the established mold of
designer-only led fashion with a new vision of designer and consumer-led
fashion.

"Twenty-first Century muses are extroverts whose personal style and experience
gives them a strong creative and artistic focus. Thus was our vision of
combining the eye of a fashion creator (Ms. Archs) with the eye of the
ultimate luxury consumer, a celebrity (Ms. Lohan)," says Mounir Moufarrige,
President of Emanuel Ungaro worldwide. "Mr. Ungaro's success was based on his
genius for design and his controversial eye to whom his consumer was," says
Mr. Mouffarige. "Lindsay is a world consumer with a clear eye for fashion."

Ms. Archs has worked for Nina Ricci and Emilio Pucci, under the artistic
direction of Christian Lacroix, as well as for Miuccia Prada at Prada upon
completing her Master's degree at Central Saint Martins in London. "I was
attracted to her high talent, fashion experience and design sophistication,"
says Mr. Moufarrige. "Estrella's interpretation of the Ungaro woman clearly
reflects the brand's DNA."
