Ungaro's chairman is desperate to axe Lindsay Lohan's contract with the label.
The 'Mean Girls' actress' debut collection for the French fashion house was a critical flop and her continued association with the brand has caused a row with chairman Asim Abdullah and CEO Mounir Moufarrige.
A source told the New York Post: "Asim wants her out now. Department stores in the States have already told him they won't be picking up the line if Lohan remains a collaborator, so it's a serious issue.
"Mounir wants to keep her on because it was his idea to hire her in the first place. He's trying to save face."
Earlier this month, Emanuel Ungaro - who has had no contact with the fashion house since his 2005 departure - blasted Lindsay's collection.
He said: "I am furious, but I can't do anything about it. It is in the process of losing its soul."
A spokesperson for Ungaro's chairman denied any rift between him and Mounir.
The representative said: "Such an insinuation is totally absurd."
