Lindsay Lohan Fashion Spring 2010

Lindsay Lohan Fashion Spring 2010

Lindsay Lohan collection she collaborated on with the Spanish designer, Estrella Archs, was hardly an unqualified success. How could it be when the pair, chiefly Archs, had only three weeks to pull it together? Ungaro himself, who founded his house in 1965, must be horrified at the arrogance of even thinking it could be done. He would have spent that time on a single piece. The best that can be said is that they tried.

There were some truly hideous fashion faux pas. Silver sequinned "pasties", for example, belong in a lap dancing club unless you subscribe to a Jordan-esque dress code. The dresses were too short. There was not enough jewellery and the cuffed, eastern-style trousers, bra-tops and boleros in jewel-tones hardly paid lip-service to Ungaro's lush exoticism.

But not was it all bad. The tailored sequinned blazers had a hint of Studio 54 and the use of hot pink and draping at least hinted at the house's DNA and the shoes and bags were good. Over the next few months Archs and Lohan have a lot of hard work to do.


Lohan was visibly distressed as she took her bow and Archs was also close to tears. But this is now wasted. This is the emotion, passion and intensity they need to direct into the next collection.
