There's nothing like great lingerie to make a girl feel good, so why keep it hidden away? Underwear worn as outerwear has become a suprising emerging trend - from demure bras peeping from prim cardigans in the style of Chloe Sevigny, to sheer, sexy and exposed blouses and sequinned hotpants. For those of you who are feeling brave a la Rihanna, show some flesh with the sheer trend, or sport a lacy bra worn underneath a blazer for a smouldering night out. Taylor Momsen, Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton have all been spotted out and about flaunting their suspenders with pride - follow suit for a youthful, punky take on the trend.
If over-exposure is out of your comfort zone, follow the lead from the SS10 catwalks of Danielle Scutt, Giles and Dolce and Gabbana, with corset inspired bustiers and dresses, or for a completely subtle take on the lingerie trend, start with some lace up killer heels. Our favourite way to wear lingerie in daytime hours? The Stella lace detail slip - let it poke out from underneath a mannish blazer for a cheeky nod to sensual dressing. Spring has never been so sexy...
Despite the turmoil surrounding Lindsay Lohan's life in recent months and fears for her health and general mental wellbeing, it would seem that things might once again be looking up for the 23-year-old. LohanGroupie.com reported that Lohan recently has announced that she is to collaborate with Pascal Mouawad, the fine and fashion jewellery designer and also the man who helped co-design Nicole Richie'sHouse of Harlow jewellery collection.
Mouawad, who has just launched a watch collection, Nu Pop Movement at Kitson (West Hollywood), in partnership with Jermaine Dupri offering an array of colourful timepieces housed in oversized cases, has yet to finalize the finer details of the upcoming collaboration. Lohan however told Access Hollywood, "Pascal and I are actually working together, 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."
We certainly hope this new venture pans out for LiLo, who can definitely do with some good fortune in her life right now. Watch this space...
Things aren't looking too great for Lindsay Lohan and her time at Emanuel Ungaro. Following harsh criticism of the SS10 catwalk show that the Hollywood starlet assisted with, Emanuel Ungaro himself publicly expressed his dismay at how the 23 year-old is robbing the label that he founded of its soul, and branded her debut this year as a 'disaster'.
As if things couldn't get any worse, Nieman Marcus and Net-a-Porter have dropped the label for Spring 2010, leaving only Vivaldi on the Upper East Side as the only place to buy Ungaro other than its freestanding stores. Although Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige took Lindsay on in an attempt to boost sales, it seems that the actress is having the opposite effect, so lets hope her efforts for the AW10 collection go down a little better.
Lindsay Lohan has been the recipient of some seriously negative press in the past but more so since that Emanuel Ungaro collection was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week earlier this month. As curiosity mounts as to why she has been selected to act as artistic advisor to the 'once-revered' fashion house, Claudia Croft of 'The Times', was fortunate enough to secure an interview with the newly blonde starlet to find out more.
Not only did Lohan actually turn up, albeit a little worse for wear having suffered from a bout of food poisining a couple of evenings before, she also had attempted to tidy her hotel suite for the interview and photoshoot by Ellen von Unwerth. Despite the tidying session, Lohan's suite was still said to be 'strewn with Ungaro clothes, shoes, make-up, jewelry and a lampshade', presumably some of the $90,000 worth of swag she had got her hands on from a sweep of the Ungaro boutique when she touched down in Paris.
As sequinned, heart shaped pasties strode crudely down the catwalk for Italian born, French raised label Emanuel Ungaro, it became apparent that the recent addition of actress Lindsay Lohan as creative consultant had done them no favours. However, Lohan has defended her disastrous line, putting it down to “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection". It also seems that those distasteful nipple tassles, which unsurprisingly shocked on-lookers at the Paris show, were not her doing, as she told PEOPLE at Wednesday's Victoria's Secret Velvet Launch party "I wasn’t aware of the nipple tassels on the girls until they were walking out,” she explained “I am going back to Paris for the next collection….I am learning.” We hope so, and with January coming round fast she needs to learn quick, too.
After suffering a rather brutal set of critique following the SS10Emanuel Ungaro show that she co-designed with Lindsay Lohan, it must have taken courage for Estrella Archs to hold her head high once more, and show her eponymous collection in Paris on Friday. Held in a parking garage in the chic Marais district, the collection was all together more grown up, with a minimalistic edge, sheer fabrics and soft drapery. Meanwhile, rumours from behind the scenes at Ungaro with Lindsay didn't sound too promising, as The Times newspaper reported - ‘[Lohan] picked up a black and white scarf and tied it around her head, then replaced it with a black one, and then clumsily stuck a red sequin-covered heart to the side of her head while a team of designers watched her...’ After proving herself under her namesake collection to be more than adequate as a designer alone, we're not sure how long Ungaro will be running under a design partnership.
