Lohan + Ungaro = a match made in…
...hell?
Lindsay Lohan, a child actress with a penchant for partying and making headlines, teamed up with Parisian fashion label, Ungaro, to launch a Spring 2010 collection that has many fashion minds shaking their heads. I'm guessing that Lohan's new title of "Artistic Advisor" was a bit of a stretch for the actress turned tanning-products-and-leggings designer. For the Ungaro show, the colors, the obvious heart motifs, 80's silhouettes, a widely divergent look for the Ungaro house...are just some of the factors cited by style sources. For me, I just couldn't appreciate the pasties + blazer combo:

Here are just a few of my favorite blogs, sounding off on the collection:
Style.com - "This quickly devolved into a bad joke of a fashion show, one with questionable color combinations, "bad eighties" draped silk jackets and drop-crotch pants, old-fashioned and ill-judged fur stoles, and, yes, tasteless sequin pasties. To top it off, the fabrics and the construction lacked the finesse you expect from a famous Avenue Montaigne brand."
Stylexperts - "When I heard this summer while in St Tropez from one of the major manager of Ungaro, they just appointed Lindsey Lohan to design the new Ungaro collection, I nearly felt out of my chair."
Racked NY - "Basically, everyone is obsessed with the Lindsay Lohan at Ungaro thing and no one really likes it."
The Recessionista - "All I can say is WTF?! Why, why, why? Here we are in the midst of some really tough times and this high-priced "collection" is released."
Of course, critics are meant to have strong opinions and be meticulous, and maybe the general public will like the collection. But personally, I'm not a big fan of neons, pasties, or skin-tight dresses. What do you think?
