Lindsay Lohan's Fashion Debut Bombs at Paris Fashion Week
Posted 10.05.09 by reelz
While the wreckage of her acting career is still smoldering, Lindsay Lohan's career as fashion designer looks headed for a similar result. Hired as "artistic adviser" to the struggling French label Emanuel Ungaro, she presented models appearing "in loose-fitting jackets that flapped open to reveal that they wore sequin-covered pasties, in the shape of hearts, on their breasts, leaving several people in the audience aghast." Classy, Lindsay!
Noted French art director Fabien Baron savaged her dryly, saying, "We love Lindsay Lohan — as an actress. Period." And style.com photographer Greg Kessler took pics of front-row guests "asking them to pose as Ms. Lohan by holding up their hands, ashamedly, in front of their faces."
This is just the latest in a series of setbacks for LiLo. Her most recent movie (Labor Pains) went straight to DVD, and it was reported she turned down the Heather Graham role in The Hangover because the script "had no potential." There is one small glimmer of hope for a comeback. She's confirmed in Robert Rodriguez's Machete, set for release sometime in 2010.
