ungaro has made a bad choice.
now i don't normally blog on lindsy lohan because, well, it's kinda mean to scrape the barrel like that. but, she keeps popping up on my radar. so here goes....
on announcement that she was producing a line for ungaro i was not bothered. don't really dig either brand. that was, until i actually saw damning review after review.
journalists gleefully slapping each other on the back and saying nasty thing after nasty thing. well, unfortunatly. i don't have anything nice to say either but, i wonder. if that collection was produced by another celebrity. one we haven't already knocked to the ground with digging and snide remarks. would it have faired the same ?
we were all very quick to put down miss lohan when she got shipped to rehab and fell in love with, shock horror, a woman. but we turned our backs quickly when the beaten tried to get back up in a way that left us embarrassed to watch. now, Lohan did a lot of it to herself. constant partying, shite films, terrible hair colors - blonde anyone ? - and her twittering was just embarrassing to behold. but, we didn't make it any easier.
i took part in it as much as any other self rightous journalist who stood there and gleefully accepted her paycheck for reporting on an addict who just happened to be famous. accepted the paycheck and then went off to pay for their own addiction, be it drugs, drink or fags. because lets face it, everyone has something.
so while we berate the famous we helped to build and waggle the finger and mutter tsk tsk at them. we are no better.
but one things for sure, this collection (getting back to that) is a mess. clashing colors and skin tights body cons seem to make up the major part of this collection. scant regard for season nor color of seems to be observed, 80's prints, and not in a good way seem to be all over the collection. it's in short a mess. nothing blends. everything sits uncomfortably together causing the eye to scan quickly over a lack lustre selection. the colors are too embarrassingly california cool to appeal to a wider possibly european audience. even the models have that plain jane barely there glamour look.

in short this collection shows no wearabilty, is embarrassingly out of touch with anyone over a size 8 and not tanned, in that it shows no wearabilty it also shows no signs of being a creative display of art as much of the non wearable shows are. it just looks like topshop circa 1996. and not in a good way (is there a good way?)
prehapes this collection is better left the lohans of this world and their skinny sisters.
