Fashion News Roundup: Tough Times for Ungaro, Date Set for Fashion’s Night Out 2012, and Designers are Putting Dragons on Everything
Ungaro Can’t Catch a Break: It hasn’t been a good start to 2012 for Emanuel Ungaro, which announced that, in addition to not being able to deliver its spring collection to retailers, it also won’t be presenting a fall collection at fashion week and has canceled all appointments for pre-fall. Current owner Asim Abdullah vaguely stated that the brand is going through an “internal reorganization” that will allow for Ungaro to become “profitable in the near future.” Hmm… This seems suspiciously (and perfectly) timed for former Ungaro guest-designer Lindsay Lohan’s 2012 comeback. Coincidence? {WWD}
Fashion’s Night Out is September 6: Yep, it’s happpppennning… Fashion’s Night Out 2012 will be Thursday, Sept 6. Mark your [Blackberry/iPhone] calendars! {Fashionista Inbox}
Christian Siriano’s Bridal Debut: Check out the Project Runway alum’s first bridal design, part of an exclusive collection he’s doing for Nordstrom. While the gown in no hot tranny mess, it definitely looks a bit tamer than what we’re used to seeing from the fierce designer. Here’s hoping he goes all out on the rest of the looks. {Glamour}

Ungaro’s Demise Continues; CEO Jeffry Aronsson Reportedly Out
Things aren’t looking good at the house of Emmanuel Ungaro. In fact, they haven’t for a while. Just three months after Giles Deacon left his roughly year-long tenure as creative director, WWD is reporting that the company’s new CEO, Jeffry Aronsson, is leaving, as well as much of the house’s advisory committee.
Aronsson has only been with the company since June and was brought in with the hopes of turning the failing company around, as he is considered to be a “turnaround expert,” based on successful CEO positions at Donna Karan International, Marc Jacobs International and Oscar de la Renta previously.

15 Dream Prom Dresses
When I went to the prom over a decade ago, Marc by Marc Jacobs didn’t exist. Our options were thus: Caché, Jessica McClintock, BCBG and if your mom could afford it, Betsey Johnson. Of course many of us opted for vintage. I, for one, wore a gunmetal gown with a little black cardigan on top, inspired by a Calvin Klein ensemble Gwyneth Paltrow chose for a red carpet appearance in the late 1990s.
But then there’s Steff, who wore Marc Jacobs collection to her prom. (Yeah, that’s right. She wore the dress again last year to the Whitney Art Party. It’s amazing.) Leah spent a pretty penny, but wasn’t as happy with the results. “I bought (what I then considered) a very expensive beaded BCBG gown. I also thought it was the prettiest dress ever,” she says. “Then coming back from a boozy pre-graduation beach week in Delaware (which is some DC schools’ ritual) my friends and I stopped at a Loehmann’s and I bought a slutty, pink postage stamp of a dress for $50 and wore that instead.” Don’t worry though, she wore the pretty BCBG dress to a wedding, and had a fever on prom and went home early so the slutty tube dress didn’t get much play.
But even if we loved our dresses, there are so many amazing options out there now–from Target to Forever 21 to H&M–that we’re pretty sure we could have found something even better if we were graduating in 2011.

Fashion-Themed Halloween Costumes For the Daring
Halloween is the perfect holiday for the fashion set. Encouraging outrageous ensembles and over-the-top dressing, it’s just the excuse to break out your rhinestone Louboutins.
That said, picking the right costume and executing it flawlessly are of the utmost importance. Most fashion followers are savvy enough to know prepackaged looks that come in plastic bags are never a wise decision. But dressing as fashion’s top stars is also risky, since no one will get the reference unless you go all the way.
We’ve compiled some outrageous and amazing costume ideas for the fashion-set. But be warned: These need a lot of prep-work.
