FROM UNGARO TO MOUAWAD

LINDSAY LOHAN has landed another fashion gig just days after designer EMANUEL UNGARO called the work the actress did for him earlier this year (09) a "disaster". The French style guru hired Lohan as a style consultant for his company in September (09) and debuted her first collection during Paris Fashion Week last month (Oct09).
 
But the star's hard work was panned by critics who dubbed her creations an "embarrassment".
And, earlier this week (beg09Nov09), Ungaro spoke out about the actress' disastrous efforts, complaining he was powerless to prevent the deal going ahead because he sold the fashion house in 2005.
He said, "Lindsay Lohan's collaboration was a disaster."
 
But that hasn't stopped jeweller Pascal Mouawad from signing her up as a new style partner.
Lohan tells U.S. news show Access Hollywood, "We’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe. We’re doing a collection for them and we’re also going to be doing some other things."

While on the red carpet for the Nu Pop Movement watch launch at Kitson in West Hollywood Thursday night, Lindsay Lohan announced an upcoming collaboration with jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad.
Mouawad and music producer Jermaine Dupri teamed up to produce the Nu Pop Movement watch collection which includes colorful, oversized cases with funky designers. Lindsay is holding some of the watches in the pictures. You can check out the collection here too.

LI-LO, WILL WORK FOR CLOTHES?

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Just months ago, Lindsay Lohan earned a prestigious position as an artistic advisor to fashion house Emanuel Ungaro — an honor soon dimmed by poor reviews of her first collection for the line with designer Estrella Archs at Paris Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week earlier in October.

But according to FOX News, the prestige – and a mountain of free clothes – may be Lindsay’s only payment for the gig.

“Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them,” a source reportedly close to Lindsay told FOX’s FOX 411 blog. “Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes.”

A source also claimed to the site that Lindsay’s much-delayed musical career is on the rocks.

“Casablanca [Records] has suspended all further recording sessions of her album and put their working relationship with her on hold,” the source told FOX. “Lindsay was committed to making music and has been working on it for 16 months. She is going to go what she can to keep her music career going.”

However, in a Times of London interview with Emanuel Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige on Sunday, the executive disputed the fashion accusations, telling the newspaper that Lindsay is being paid “quite enough” for her new position.

“It’s expensive,” he said.
