Lindsay Lohan Facing the Axe at Ungaro
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors
Not that it’s too much of a surprise, the House of Emanuel 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 revealed, “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.”
A spokesperson for Ungaro’s chairman denied any rift between him and Mounir; the representative said, “Such an insinuation is totally absurd.”
Earlier this month, Emanuel Ungaro - who has had no contact with the fashion house since his 2005 departure - blasted Lindsay’s collection.

Lindsay Lohan Scores Another Fashion Gig
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women, Accessories
UPDATE: Pascal Mouawad tells WWD that the collaboration is “not happening.” Oops on Lindsay!
In extremely troubling and mind-boggling fashion news, Lindsay Lohan has actually been hired for another fashion gig, this time in the jewelry department.
Aside from the fact that fashion designer Emanuel Ungaro slammed Lohan for sucking his former house of its soul, did we all forget about those few photo shoot instances where jewelry went missing? I daresay that she’s got some convincing people working for her!
Word around the fashion town says that the hard partying starlet is teaming up with Pascal Mouawad to design a jewelry line for Bebe (first the Kardashian sisters, now Lindsay!). Mouawad recently aided Nicole Richie with her own jewelery collection for the San Francisco-based retailer—one would think that they’d spread these things out.
“Pascal and I are actually working together, we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe. We’re doing a collection for them and we’re also going to be doing some other things,” Lindsay dished.
Can Mouawad help this poor soul who has clearly lost track of her career path?

Emanuel Ungaro Slams Lindsay Lohan Collection
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors
We’ve heard what Lindsay has to say about her failed collection at the House of Emanuel Ungaro; so what does the designer whose name is still used by the fashion label?
Apparently the 76 year-old, who sold the house to an investment fund four years ago, calls it a “disaster,” but unfortunately nothing he can control: “I’m furious but there isn’t a thing I can do. I have absolutely no link with that house.”
The line, which Lohan was appointed Artistic Advisor a month before the collection’s debut at Paris Fashion Week, was designed by Estrella Archs and well-received by the company itself.
Ungaro believes that this fashion debacle occurred because he sold his soul: “This happens to a lot of designers. We were creator/owners, responsible for both the designs of the house and its destiny. But when you give up your house, we’ve also given up our soul.”
Selling one’s soul tends to be associated with acquiring money from a business deal - he didn’t give it up for free (unlike Lohan)!

Lindsay Lohan Worked For Free
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Rumors
The Lindsay Lohan-Ungaro debacle continues to be making headlines; this time, reports are saying that the starlet wasn’t paid for her creative advisor position.
The 23-year-old actress worked on designs with the fashion house’s new head designer Estrella Archs for three weeks, but was given $147,000 worth of free clothes in place of payment.
A source revealed, “Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them. Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes. The deal is perfect for them - they have nothing to lose, even though the clothes were not a big hit.”
It has even been claimed she paid for her flight and hotel at Paris Fashion Week herself, when her range debuted there earlier this month. The line, which she described as “a dream come true,” was slammed as “underwhelming” and “non-skilled” by fashion journalists.
But speaking about her clothes, Lindsay defiantly said, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn’t expect everyone to be completely loving the collection.”
Lindsay Lohan Places Ungaro Blame Elsewhere
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors
I hate love to say it: everyone told you so, Ungaro.
Critics did not bide well with the House of Emanuel Ungaro’s Spring/Summer ‘10 collection, which debuted at Paris Fashion Week. All eyes, naturally, were glaring at the much-buzzed about celebrity advisor Lindsay Lohan, and she wasn’t willing to take the hits without a fight.
The first of her many excuses was “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection.” As if she didn’t revel in the positive, hopeful stories on her exciting appointment—accepting the offer so last minute wasn’t exactly something the currently-blonde actress thought out.
She also claims to have no idea about those infamous nipple tassels: “I wasn’t aware of the nipple tassels on the girls until they were walking out.” Surely she must have been intoxicated during that meeting.
The best explanation was her inexperience card, which she actually believed to be legitimate, stating that she’s “still learning.” Shouldn’t someone be firing her already? There’s a reason why people aren’t employing her in films, people.

Lindsay Lohan’s Good Luck Charms
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers
Lindsay Lohan designs jewelery to keep her family safe. The actress-turned-fashion designer has created a string of glitzy accessories for her mother Dina to wear for good luck when they have to embark on long-haul flights without each other.
Dina - who was wearing a diamond ring on her engagement finger - said:
“Lindsay actually designed this ring. She’s designing jewelery, and she put this on my finger. We have a thing - when my girls leave the airports and we leave each other, we put things like a Kabbalah bracelet or the Eye of the Blessed Mother on each other. So she put this on me the last time she left. She designed this ring, and this necklace as well. And I gave her what I was wearing. It’s like a family thing to fly safe. Ain’t it corny?”

Lindsay Lohan Worries Over New Ungaro Position
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows
Lindsay Lohan is “nervous” about the upcoming House of Emanuel Ungaro fashion show.

Lindsay Lohan Appointed Ungaro Adviser
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women
Just when the rumors of hiring Lindsay Lohan at Ungaro died down, they have now been confirmed as she has been appointed “artistic adviser” for House of Emanuel Ungaro.
The Mean Girls actress, who already has her own range of leggings and fake tan, will work alongside Spanish designer Estrella Archs for the French fashion house and will be giving her own input on designs and styles.
Of her new role, Lindsay said, “I kind of oversee everything Archs does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas.”
The 23-year-old star also added she is confident of taking Ungaro to a “younger place” with a harder fashion edge.
Designer Amy Molyneux, who already works for the French label, said of the appointment, “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big. She does have an eye for fashion. I like the way she dresses. Her house is a mini-department store. She changes outfits five times a day.”
Again, where is the praise for the stylists who actually dress these celebrities, stocking that “mini-department store” with the clothes?
It had been reported Ungaro’s head designer had threatened to quit the fashion house if Lindsay was appointed; however, he recently said he would be staying “for now.”
Tim Gunn Loves Lindsay Lohan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Rumors
Despite the fact that Rachel Zoe has her hands picking out the clothes that brandish her wardrobe, Linsday Lohan has been called “extremely knowledgeable” about fashion.
The 23-year-old actress starred as a guest judge on the sixth season of Project Runway and has been lauded by the show’s consultant Tim Gunn:
“I was surprised and pleased by how extremely knowledgeable about fashion and articulate Lindsay Lohan was. She’s very young and can be portrayed in ways that aren’t all together flattering, and she was a true states person and really weighed in on the designers and what they were doing exceptionally well. And it was really a thrill to have her.”
Tim has also praised show host Heidi Klum—who is currently expecting a daughter with husband Seal, with whom she already raises three children—for her sense of style. He told People, “Heidi has incredible style no matter what condition she’s in, and she looks fabulous in everything. She just always knows what she looks best in and she’s remarkable. I marvel at her all the time.”
Despite being a successful model, the most important thing in Heidi’s life is her family. Tim revealed, “Seal and her kids always come first, and frankly we schedule things around that. I have the greatest respect for her. She’s very, very grounded.”
