Lindsay Lohan Not Involved With Latest Ungaro Line
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, News, Rumors, Sales
UPDATE: According to WWD, Lohan reportedly said, “I don’t work for them [House of Emanuel Ungaro] anymore.”
Is there still a future in high fashion for Lindsay Lohan? According to the label, Lohan was “not involved” with the latest Emanuel Ungaro collection.
The actress was the artistic advisor for the French fashion house, but rumors are now rife she has been axed from her job after she failed to have any input for their latest designs, which were showcased at Paris Fashion Week.
Speaking about Lindsay, who was not present at the last week’s show, the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD, “She’s not involved in this collection.” Last year, Ungaro’s then CEO Mounir Moufarrige slammed rumors Lindsay was to be axed after her debut collection was a critical flop: “As we speak, she is in New York in shoots with Ungaro. The decision to appoint her was controversial, but then fashion is controversial anyway, and you need some novelties and you need to test some new ideas.”
Lindsay - who has her own fashion line 6126 - has previously admitted being associated with her can have negative consequences. The 23-year-old star said, “I’m the first to say that in certain situations, my name will cheapen things because that’s what people have made of it.”

Tom Ford Moves Forward With Womenswear Plans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Women
Upon completing his foray into film, Tom Ford is now venturing into womenswear.
The designer has reportedly started recruiting accessories specialists and is putting together a design team for a return to the ladies clothing market, his first foray into the area under his own name. Tom confirmed his intentions to move back toward womenswear last year, saying in October, “Financing is extremely expensive right now, so if we find financing in the right situation we’ll be able to start a women’s collection soon. If we don’t, we may have to wait a while.”
He warned, however, the project would take over a year to complete, adding, “It will take me 18 months when I start, because I have to hire the team, find the factories, put everything together and then get the stores ready so there’s a place for these clothes.”
Meanwhile, Tom - who has previously worked for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent - dressed Oscars hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin for last night’s ceremony, which included a costume changed for Alec from a single-breasted tuxedo with grosgrain peak lapels, white pique front shirts and black grosgrain cummerbunds and bow ties to a navy blue, single-breasted tuxedo with a grosgrain peak lapel.
Colin Firth - who starred in Tom’s directorial debut film A Single Man for which he was nominated for the Best Actor award - was also dressed by the designer at the Oscars.
Kate Moss Piles on Holiday Pounds
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors
We weren’t the only ones worried about our additional holiday pounds—Kate Moss is worried about her figure after over-indulging in Thailand.
The supermodel, who is currently in the Asian country on an extended New Year break, has been tucking into plates of fried food and is now starting to regret her actions after piling on some pounds.
A friend of the 35-year-old beauty said, “Kate’s been a bit naughty on holiday. She decided to spoil herself, so she’s been ordering egg and chips a hell of a lot. Now she’s staring to regret it. She’s having to leave the top button of her jeans undone in the evening and is worried she’s put on timber.”
Although she has been over-indulging with the food, Kate has been exercising on her break as she recently learned a synchronized swimming routine.
A source said, “Kate has spent five days solid preparing for this synchronized swimming display. Underwater music was piped through her hotel pool, allowing her to practice her moves and refine the art of water ballet.” The catwalk queen is taking the swimming so seriously that she has been studying from a guide book to help her perfect her moves.
Lindsay Lohan Demands Free Clothes
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women, Accessories
Much like when she refused to pay a bar tab, Lindsay Lohan has now “offended” a designer boutique after demanding free clothes.
The failed creative advisor for Ungaro has upset exclusive Los Angeles boutique Kitson - which stocks Lindsay’s leggings line 6126 - after she reportedly demanded $15,000 in free merchandise from a shop assistant earlier this month.
Store owners are upset by the 23-year-old’s demands because she reportedly failed to fulfil her promotional duties after they splashed out a huge sum on stocking her leg-wear range. A spokesperson told Fox News, “We’re actually really offended. The tables have turned and now we’re the customer. We spent $50,000 on her leggings line, but she hasn’t come to the store in three years, and she didn’t even do a personal appearance. “
Staff at the shop - which is on Robertson Boulevard - have now threatened to withdraw the collection from their store: “She should have brought cookies for the staff to thank them for selling her leggings because she does nothing. We don’t know if we’ll continue to carry them.”
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.
Stella McCartney to Team Up With Leona Lewis
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors
With stylish stars like Angelina Jolie dressing kids in her clothes, it’s no wonder that more celebrities want to line up with Stella McCartney.
Pop singer Leona Lewis has her eyes aimed at such a collaboration, specifically an eco-friendly one.
“Leona and Stella got on famously. They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The [fashion] line would be very animal-friendly,” reveals an anonymous source.
The news comes after the pair were spotted being awfully chatty at a charity event, Children In Need, in London. Although McCartney has designed costumes for the film Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this team-up would be her first with a celebrity, despite having previous done lines for Adidas and H&M.

Gemma Ward: I Have Said Nothing Will Be Permanent
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models, News, Rumors
Never say, “Never” when it comes to the modeling world—even if your agent says so! Case in point: Gemma Ward.
Following an emergence of recent pictures of the model displaying a more average, fuller figure, Ward’s agent claimed that she was not expected to return to modeling “any time soon.”
Ward dispelled such talk via her seldom-used Twitter page: “Thankyou everyone for your support, all i’ll say on the subject is im content with my decision but i have said nothing will be permanent.(sic)”
The dabbling actress went so far as to e-mail an Australian newspaper to further confirm her upcoming return, yet hints that it’ll be sooner than later: “I have not ‘quit modeling’ and my fans back home can expect to see me back at work modeling and acting in the new year.”
So what’s she doing until then?

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?

Heidi Klum Moves in Trainer to Shed Baby Weight
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors
Supermodel Heidi Klum‘s personal trainer has moved in with her to help get her into shape.
The German supermodel is desperate to shed the weight she gained while pregnant with daughter Lou - her fourth child who was born last month - before a Victoria’s Secret catwalk show next week and has embarked on a grueling diet and exercise regime under the guidance of expert David Kirsch.
A source said, “Heidi’s swapped processed carbs, sugar, dairy and fruit for egg-white omelettes, spinach salads and grilled tuna with quinoa. She’s determined to wow everyone when she walks. She’s pushing herself through gruelling twice-daily workouts.”
Heidi has previously admitted she is struggling to lose her baby weight and finds it much tougher than she did after having her other children, Leni, five, Henri, four, and Johan, three: “I wouldn’t say I’m back in shape yet. Everything changes when you get older. It was different when I was 31 with the first one and now being 36 with the fourth one.”
She is now hitting the treadmill and eating sensibly in a bid to get back in shape as she fears she will remain bigger forever if she doesn’t act now: “I think that if you wait too long and it sticks there it stays that way forever. I have to be motivated.”
Marc Jacobs Plans to Wed in 2010
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News, Rumors
Although Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone originally planned to tie the knot in a very small ceremony at the end of late August, news and pictures never surfaced—in other words, it didn’t happen. It also could have been due to the fact that Jacobs and Martone never confirmed the wedding (we all know that celebrities mean quite the opposite when it comes to affairs such as this).
Rest assured—the famed designer opened up about the upcoming event (vaguely at best, but I’ll take it): “We still haven’t fixed the date but Lorenzo and I believe in commitment. We’re quite classic like that. We’ve got the license, hence the rumors that we’d already got married. So hopefully it will happen in 2010. When it does, it will be very low-key.”
From the way Jacobs spoke of business at Louis Vuitton, I would hope that the pair change their mind and make their big day an extravagant one—they seem to be the only company weathering this financial storm.
“In terms of what’s selling at Louis Vuitton, the recession hasn’t changed anything… our sales are up and I haven’t noticed that people’s tastes have got more subdued. There’s this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive.”
I can’t wait to see their adorable wedding pictures (or what they’d wear for that matter)!
