LiLo + Ungaro = (surprise!) Disaster

Yes, the cameras were there but will it sell?

Lindsay Lohan and Spanish designer Estrella Archs showed off their new hot mess of a Spring 2010 Ungaro collection today in Paris.

And the Fashion World’s Mean Girls could simply not stop ragging on how bad it was. (To be fair, there seems to be at least one kind person from Australia running off at the mouth.)

One Twitter trendoid was appalled at the lack of gowns.

And then there were the heart-shaped pasties. …

‘It’s not good to show your nipples, so they should be covered,’ Lohan wisely told Reuters, referring to the omnipresent heart-shaped pasties. This did not explain why some models wore larger versions of the heart-shaped pasties on their foreheads.

WWD called the collection “an “embarrassment,” among other things.

“As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated, as has often been the case chez Ungaro during the post-Emanuel revolving door of designers. Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and “creative directed” by another. Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies?”

I am a former big ad agency brand planner, running footloose and fancy-free through the streets of New York City. I read all those huge research reports that explain how and why consumers love or are indifferent to particular brands, the types of messaging that make them break out in night sweats, and the ONE thing you are not doing that your customers really wish you would. I read a lot of other stuff too. I write custom reports, design proprietary research, basically help my smart and fabulous clients become even more so.
