Breaking Brew: House of LiLo?

Jigga what? Jigga Who?? Crazy ass Lindsay Lohan is now 1/2 of a DESIGN team of a real life ICONIC fashion house?!? This is the same broad who wears leggings as pants and/or panties as pants, depending on the season. I want the entire student body of FIT to protest this shit! Meet me at my IP address for a march or a sit in or something, I QUIT THIS BITCH!

"In an astonishing move, the little-known Spanish designer, Estrella Archs, and the headline-grabbing actress and rehab-regular, Lindsay Lohan, have been named as the new design team at the French house of Emanuel Ungaro.
Archs, whose career began as a graduate of Central Saint Martins fashion college in London, has been named as chief designer, while ‘LiLo’ Lohan becomes artistic adviser, a role that also involves modelling, as she appears wearing a preview selection of spring looks, slinky, black and featuring strategic cutouts.
The unlikely duo will present their first Ungaro collection during the forthcoming Paris prêt-à-porter season, on October 4th, and are expected to take a joint bow on the catwalk.
“It will be an explosive combination,” the Ungaro chief executive officer, Mounir Moufarrige, said.
The announcement was made by Moufarrige, in an exclusive interview with Women’s Wear Daily. The ‘fashion bible’ said Moufarrige was relishing the prospect of that image ...’bringing a lightning bolt of attention - good, bad or otherwise - to a French brand that has severely lacked it, as it endured a revolving door of lacklustre designers and collections.’
The Archs-Lohan combo replace the Colombian-born, New York-based, young designer, Esteban Cortazar, whose three collections for Ungaro were pretty much damp squibs. Prior to him, Peter Dundas, who is now at Emilio Pucci, Vincent Darré, and Giambattista Valli had all had their turn at the house’s drawing board.
Lohan, 23, whose first fur coat - leopard-spotted, with pink lining - came from Ungaro ten years ago, and who is said to change clothes five times a day, told WWD she wanted to take the brand “to a younger place, with a harder fashion edge.”
“When I’m involved in a project, I give my all to it,” she was quoted as saying. “To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand.”
She said Ungaro had stood for provocation- something she is very familiar with - and chic since Day One. Most recently, Lohan hit the headlines for her on-off lesbian relationship, with the DJ, Samantha ‘Sam’, Ronson, sister of the music producer, Mark Ronson. She is currently finishing filming ‘Machete’, a thriller, with Robert De Miro and Jessica Alba.
Estrella Archs, 35, launched a small signature collection in Paris two years ago. She previously worked for a slew of brands including Nina Ricci, Cacharel, Hussein Chalayan, Emilio Pucci and Prada.
“I like to think of my style as pure and light, but very sexy, “ Archs told WWD.
For his part, Moufarrige is ecstatic at the prospect of turning the stagnant Ungaro brand into a consumer-led powerhouse with a dynamic design team that is sure to fuel a paparazzi frenzy.
He himself is no stranger to controversy, having replaced Karl Lagerfeld at Chloé in 1997 with the Beatles daughter, Stella McCartney, who had just presented her graduate collection at Central Saint Martins.
The house of Ungaro was originally founded by Emanuel Ungaro in 1964, and was renowned for its chic and OTT La Parisienne style, mixing bright colours, animals prints and multicoloured floral suits and day-dresses, with slinky, fluid, Oriental allure for evening. Ungaro worked for many years with the famed Cristobal Balenciaga, before setting up on his own, and remains one of the very few with links to the late Spanish maestro. Ungaro retired in 2004."
