14 DAY TRIAL // In September last year, it was announced that Hollywood actress and socialite Lindsay Lohan would become creative advisor for the renowned Ungaro fashion house, in the hope that she would bring youthfulness to upcoming collections and, of course, more media exposure for the brand. Shortly after the first collection debuted, critics ripped Lohan apart, saying she was better off – which she is now, People magazine says.
Though no confirmation of this has been made yet, it would seem that Lindsay has been quietly dropped from her position with the brand after the less-than-stellar start. This would be the obvious conclusion, now that the latest collection from Ungaro has been launched and there was no Lindsay in sight. Thinking back to the first line with her as advisor, it would have been natural to have more media coverage should she have been involved in the second as well.
“It looks like Lindsay Lohan might have a little more time to focus exclusively on her 6126 line of leggings and apparel in the days ahead. After months of tumult over her appointment as the artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro – and one not well-received runway show – the unlikely team appears to have parted ways,” People magazine writes. Confirmation of this is still pending.
“The actress was not present at the Ungaro fashion show today during Paris Fashion Week, and the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD backstage, ‘She’s not involved in this collection,’ while declining to comment further. The actress quickly went from describing her catwalk debut as ‘pretty much a fairytale’ to being bashed in the design world, even incurring the ire of the brand’s respected namesake founder, who deemed her first and maybe only collection for his former house ‘a disaster’.” the publication further says.
As also noted above, Lohan was appointed with Ungaro because the brand had begun to lose its appeal and needed someone who could generate media attention with the least effort. At the time the collaboration was made official, a simple Google search with the name of the brand retuned a little over one million results, while Lohan’s would generate about 26 million, as we also told you.
