Hollywood actress celebrity newsmaker-actress-model good ol’ Lindsay Lohan is set to get creative and take over as artistic director for French fashion brand, Emanuel Ungaro and its new chief designer, Estrella Archs.
Will this work? is what’s being pondered in gossip/industry circles, especially since Lohan allegedly has no record in ground-breaking fashion design.
But Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, obviosuly thinks it will. Here’s what he told WWD:
“Odds are it could work. Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.”
Meanwhile, Lindsay, 23, said she wants she wants to take the brand to a “younger place.” She told WWD:
“When I’m involved in a project, I give my all to it.
“I feel like there’s a correlation between everything I do, whether it’s pop music or film. I’ve always played a big part in what I wear, the costumes. Clothing is something that’s so expressive in so many ways. It really interests me. To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand.”
Lohan will “kind of oversees everything [Archs] does, while working with her,” WWD quoted the star as saying.
“Different generations have different ideas,” Lohan added.
How would Archs handle “the different ideas” theory? The Spanish designer does appear ‘cool’ with the idea, saying, “Have you ever met two women who agree completely about fashion?”
The duo will make a presentation of its first collection in Paris on October 4.
