14 DAY TRIAL // Just yesterday, the one-time favorite celebrity darling Lindsay Lohan was saying that she could only wish she had made different choices in life, since the ones she did make had ruined her life completely, practically leaving her jobless. Going to show that an actress’ job is not limited only to the silver screen, a series of new shots for Fornarina have just surfaced on the Internet.
That Lindsay had signed on to become the face of the Italian fashion company was already a known fact, news of the actress agreeing to help the designer break onto the American market becoming public in May, last year. At the time, Scott Ronaldson, managing director of Retail, told WWD that “[Lindsay] is that very self-confident, dynamic woman, she’s got a lot of attitude. That’s what we’re hoping our customer will aspire to.”
The shots that have just surfaced online seem to emphasize precisely that. Playing on the wild side of the actress but, at the same time, with her innocent looks, the ads obviously target a strong, confident woman, who is not afraid to keep up with the tendencies and to be bold, without ever being in danger of becoming what is known under the derogatory dubbing of a “fashion victim.” In all fairness, when it comes to making a daring statement, there is probably no better person to do so than Lindsay Lohan, even the actress’ most bitter critics seem to agree.
Fornarina, in its turn, thinks nothing but the best of the freckled star that will help it become a hit on the US market as well. She is “the Hollywood celebrity testimonial of the brand. Young, beautiful, eclectic, with great talent and a great personality, Lindsay Lohan immediately appeared as one of the few in the show-biz able to represent the glamorous style of Fornarina.” an official statement coming from the fashion company reads.
The first official ads starring Lindsay Lohan will drop in spring 2009, their arrival being scheduled to coincide with Fornarina opening several stores in London, Paris, and New York, reports indicate. Until then, enjoy the shots below.
