The design house Emanuel Ungaro has hired Lohan to work as their Creative Director in a multiyear, multimillion pound deal, in a bid to inject some youth and energy into their line (and get some attention, if some critics are to be believed). Her debut collection was shown in Paris a couple of weeks ago, and goodness, has she had an absolute panning and a half for it. It has only been over the past few days that Lohan has defended herself and the collection, saying that she still has a lot to learn.

Lindsay has been working with the company’s chief designer Estrella Archs, who admitted that the collection was very rushed, in fact they only had three weeks to create it. I don’t even think that Coco Chanel herself could have created a good collection in three weeks. Lohan and Arch’s bow at the end of the show was described as not ‘radiating chemistry’. I personally think that if looks could kill, from the one on Estrella Arch’s face (above), there could have been a front row fashion show massacre.

The most common word that the critics have been using to describe Lohan’s efforts is ‘disastrous’. The main colours throughout the show were hot pink and orange, and there was an unusual amount of heart shaped nipple stickers going on. Some models were even given larger heart shaped stickers to wear on their foreheads. Hmmmm.

The chilly press response has been likened to the kind of behavior expected from the characters of Lohan’s most famous film, Mean Girls. Moreover, it seems that some of the fashion industry feel offended by Lohan’s collection, with one critic writing, ‘No one ever said that fashion was brain surgery. It’s a different discipline altogether. But it is indeed a discipline and a commercial art, a fact variously muted and underscored by the celebrity infiltration of the last decade.’ Oh dear.

So the fashion world didn’t like it, but Ungaro are still planning to keep Lohan on, and she has another collection due in January. When asked about this collection, Lohan replied that she thought it was in March. Erm, good luck Lindsay!

Ashlee Simpson creates a sophisticated monotone look with a gorgeous navy Azzedine Alaia dress and suede navy thigh highs. Get her look keeping it all black, all brown or (if you dare) choose a bright colour like plum and wear a black boyfriend blazer over top to tone down the intensity.

This Moda in Pelle suede number would look great in a similar statement to Ashlee’s:

Jennifer Lopez pulls off the yummy mummy in a clubby (too much?) look with class and a ‘uniquely-hers’ style. Pair them with a short dress but make sure it’s top half isn’t too revealing so the overall effect screams ‘just right ’instead of ‘too much’.

Armed with a 4 inch heels and a similar ruffled ankle to Jo Lo’s these Love Label stretch platform boots have it all – they’re glamorous, comfortable and come with a much friendlier price tag than J Lo’s Louboutins:

Natasha Bedingfield masters rock chic with this sequined mini dress, tights and leather thigh highs. Rock Chic is definitely the look of A/W 09 with celebrities everywhere showing off studs, chains, sequins and all things glitter.

Finally, check out these stunning Love Label over the knew studded boots – they perfect the look and look great worn with a mini dress like NB’s, or roll down the cuff for perfect day-time glam:
