Please Fire Lindsay Lohan
By admins | October 25, 2009
Really, did anyone think this was a good idea? It’s like a bad nightmare; Ungaro the high fashion brand hires Lindsay Lohan as their designer. Was anybody really surprised when Ungaro’s Paris fashion show became a disaster of epic proportions? What did they expect from a girl who runs around town in ripped tights, grungy tank tops, bad roots, and no panties? Or more to the point, what would any luxury brand be thinking hiring someone with no design experience, marketing maybe? But really, even then, is the drugged out, rapidly ageing, wacktress who you want as the face of your brand? Not shockingly the Ungaro Paris show was panned by critics and considered a total bomb. To see the collection click here.
LiLo has told People Magazine that the Paris catastrophe is not her fault. She said that she was still learning (um, duh) and that she was not given enough time to create a full collection (maybe less time at the clubs stalking your girlfriend and more time working). As for the horrendously tacky nipple tassels, LiLo claims she knew nothing about them until the models were on the runway. Hum, (obvious question) if you really are the designer didn’t you make those nipple tassels, order them, approve them , give them to the models, and see them backstage as you were preparing “your” show? The most upsetting part of this story to us is that Ungaro is keeping her on to design next season’s collection!
How disturbing, when a D-list hot mess of a celebrity gets a fashion dream job, meanwhile hundreds of talented designers go unemployed. In the midst of an economic recession why would any brand give a proven disaster a second chance? So what do you think? Should they fire LiLo? Has Ungaro’s marketing move sullied their name?

Ha ha love the photo! This whole topic would be hilarious if it was not for the mass unemployment of so many creative people and the bleak outlook for recent fashion grads.
Lilo is completely undeserving of this and I have definitely lost respect for Ungaro!

Why would they even think Lohan would be an asset to anyone’s line?
She can barely sell rag mags anymore much less fashion…
That first pic is the perfect after shot of what happens to your face when you go on an alcohol & drug binge for your entire early 20’s.

whomp WHOMP!! Her excuses completely suck. Whoever thought this decision was in the best interest of Ungaro must have had a manic fit.

What were they thinking to hire such a mess. She can’t even dress herself. It’s so sad that Ungaro has to resort to cheap celebs for marketability when there are so many really talented unemployed designers ready to take on the challenge.
