Further departures at Ungaro

Troubles are continuing at the French fashion house Ungaro. After a multitude of creative

directors, design consultants, managers and CEO's, the company's latest head of operations, ceo Jeffry Aronsson, is leaving the company after just 5 months in the role.

Aronsson, who was hired in June to attempt to "heal the bruises" after a season of Lindsay Lohan and another of Giles Deacon, iis reported to have departed.

Ungaro in a statement said "Mr. Aronsson is still the acting ceo of Ungaro," but the executive has recently stopped commuting to Paris and appears to have returned to the helm of his investment and consulting firm, Aronsson Group, on a permanent basis.

Aronsson's departure, if confirmed, is only the latest in a long line of high-profile exits from the brand. Giles Deacon became the sixth designer in as many years to leave the label - preceded by the departure of Giambattista Valli, Vincent Darré, Peter Dundas, Esteban Cortazar and Estrella Archs, who worked alongside artistic advisor Lindsay Lohan for one season - since the designer retired in 2004.
