"She may be in Paris for fall 2010 fashion week, but today&amp;#x27;s WWD confirms that Lindsay Lohan is merely another front row fixture. After the starlet--who served as &amp;quot;artistic adviser&amp;quot; to the label last season and worked with designer Estrella Archs to produce an almost-universally-panned collection--failed to show up at yesterday&amp;#x27;s fall 2010 show, Ungaro owner Asim Abdullah told WWD, &amp;quot;She&amp;amp;#8217;s not involved in this collection.&amp;amp;#8221; Later in the day, when Lohan grabbed her front row seat at the Kenzo show, a reporter asked her why she was missing from Ungaro. &amp;quot;Because I don&amp;amp;#8217;t work for them anymore,&amp;amp;#8221; she answered, then went on to say, &amp;amp;#8220;There&amp;amp;#8217;s legal things going on; I can&amp;amp;#8217;t really discuss it.&amp;amp;#8221; Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! Details about the end of the partnership are still fuzzy, but...I can&amp;#x27;t say I&amp;#x27;m especially surprised. Lohan was brought in to take the brand to a &amp;quot;younger place,&amp;quot; but her ideas (most memorably, heart-shaped pasties) didn&amp;#x27;t seem to jive with the brand&amp;#x27;s history. And it seems the kind of publicity they were hoping to get by bringing in a big name didn&amp;#x27;t turn out as planned. I&amp;#x27;m crossing my fingers for Estrella and the future of Emanuel Ungaro (reviews for the new collection say it&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;an improvement&amp;quot;), and hoping other fashion houses will learn a lesson that star power doesn&amp;#x27;t necessarily translate to brilliant design skills--let&amp;#x27;s leave that to the designers, shall we? What do you ladies think of Lindsay&amp;#x27;s abrupt departure from Ungaro? Do you think she was ever a good fit there in the first place? And do you think the collection can carry on with success without a celebrity name behind it? Do you think celebrities have become too involved in the fashion industry? Discuss! PLUS!
