At this point it must be very hard to be Lindsay Lohan. It seems people just want her to fail.
I think the problem with the show was more in the styling than in the clothes themselves. There are actually some really nice pieces in the collection but they get lost b/c they are paired with a tube top or silly heart pasty thing.
Looking back at the pics from this morning, I think the biggest problem with the collection is that it lacks coherence. Its hard to see how the white jumpsuit from pic #2, the hearts and stripes dress from pic #10 and the blue pants & tube top from pic #23 are even part of the same collection.
Overall, even if Ungaro wanted a celebrity to bring more youthful attention to the brand, I'm not sure Lindsay was the best choice. I don't really see her personal style really meshing with the POV of Ungaro.
@erinna: I think that's true. The collection was VERY Lohan, which is what Ungaro wanted. I don't think she can really be blamed for delivering exactly what was asked/expected of her.
@hortense: @erinna: maybe Lindsay should be like Kelly Bensimon and not put her name on anything.
Also, I feel like this is one of those instances where someone asks you to lend a hand with a project and then you get thrown under the bus for the entire thing.
@erinna: Your last paragraph. If you want to expand the demographic related to your aesthetic, you have to look at the aesthetic first, not just ... choose somebody who a) ordinarly embodies its complete opposite but b) just happens to look good in yours.
I do not understand all of the Porno bashing (hee hee...). I am going to operate under the assumption that you folks have not read the book, that is the sequel to Trainspotting in book form. It is quite good, and this is coming from a near obsessive Irvine Welsh fan, and someone who considers Trainspotting her both her favorite movie AND book. I would be pretty fuckin' stoked if Porno happened, to be honest.
Side note: 80's Samantha looks like me when I go to shows except subtract the mesh jeans and big hair and insert
Doc Dartens and a Chelsea cut. Weeeeird...
@Saddletramp: See, I like Porno too! It's not a bad book. But see, the characters of Trainspotting are so close to me, you know, they feel like friends-- quality isn't a term you can apply to their books. You're just happy to be around them.
@Lolita Hazed: To quote Sickboy himself,
"No, it's not bad, but it's not great either. And in your heart you kind of know that although it sounds all right, it's actually just shite. "
oh no Phil Collins ;_; I don't know what I would do if they told me I could never play the drums again. I had tendinitis for a few months but never again? Man, that is very sad. I really feel for him.
Lady GaGa in bondage? Meh. I'll tell you an "edgy" photoshoot I'd like to see: "Lady Gaga wearing sweats!"
Or "Lady Gaga Stuns in jeans and a t-shirt, no muppets or bubbles or metal in sight!"
Or even "Lady Gaga wearing the same hoodie and pants she wore yesterday because she forgot to buy detergent and they at least look/smell clean!"
A girl can dream.
@Ailatan: She said "Maybe I should have spent more time in school and less time on the set of the parent trap remake, because then maybe I would be able to adequately string together a sentence."
Drew Barrymore, it's nice to see a woman talk about beauty outside the "cookie-cutter model body" without putting down the women who do have those model bodies. Thanks for actually embracing several body shapes, and this comes from a woman who never did and never will look like a model.
OHMYGOD! Is that photo of Lilo for real? Looks like she got into a bar fight with a bag of Cheetos (and by the looks of her possibly black eyes, the Cheetos won).
