Lohan expands 6126 line



You have to admire Lindsay Lohan for continuing to pursue fashion after taking such a beating from the press during her brief stint as artistic advisor of French luxury brand Ungaro. That takes courage and dedication.

For fall, she's expanding her leggings-only fashion line 6126 into a full collection of looks to take a woman from day to night.

Lohan, the brand's creative director, wasn't in her showroom to tell me about the collection. But she does appear in the fall look-book, posing in thigh-high boots in one shot, and an outfit that could be described as a sequin jumper in another.

Her PR rep reports that "despite what everyone says," Lohan is very involved in the design process, choosing fabrics and inspecting samples at her downtown L.A. studio, even having all the leather jackets redone at the last minute because the sleeves didn't fit snugly enough.

The bread and butter of the collection is still leggings. ("Lindsay really started the legging trend," her sales rep says.) They come in every stripe -- with leather or lace insets, studded details, a dusting of black sequins and more. The coolest pair appeared to have tiny rips all over, but not in a raunchy way.

Mini dresses, the kind you'd wear out clubbing in Hollywood, were also key, the best one in black crocodile embossed leather (it comes with long sleeves or sleeveless). The leathers were all pretty likable actually, including a drapey burnished gold leather jacket (it also comes as a vest). Chunky cardigans, sequin or lace-covered hoodies (you know how Lindsay likes to rock a hood) and nylon puffer jackets rounded out the 280-piece collection.

According to Lohan's rep, store buyers liked what they saw. Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Ron Herman are all on board with the collection, which hits stores in July, priced at about $60 to $1,000.

Maybe LiLo does have a future in this industry. After all, fashion loves a comeback almost as much as Hollywood does.

"Lindsay really started the legging trend," her sales rep says.

she did, she was one of the few to make leggings her fashion trademark way back before leggings became mainstream in fashion overall

you know that leggings have been in since the 80's, right?
pit_fashn 7th-Apr-2010 04:29 pm (UTC)
Mary-Kate Olsen and Kate Moss were the ones who started the trend and made it mainstream, Lindsay Lohan was just following the crowd.
lovely_tunes 6th-Apr-2010 11:25 am (UTC)
IKR?

all the hipsters and their moms were wearing leggings for years already before Lindsay thought of adding kneepads to facilitate blowjobs!

You have to keep in mind that Lindsay's reps are delusional like she is.

1,000 dollars?

Oh, well, that's nice. But hooray money.

Ok and when she was at Ungaro it was NOT THAT BAD. I was just as wary as the next person but eh.

Sorry Lindsay, but Jane Fonda started the leggings trend.

ms_firecrotch 6th-Apr-2010 07:55 am (UTC)
excuse me? i didn't make a joke
prophecypro 6th-Apr-2010 07:58 am (UTC)
That was hilarious, take it as a compliment.
kerrence 6th-Apr-2010 07:39 am (UTC)
I sure do wish she'd just expand to a 5150 and be done with it.
alouds 6th-Apr-2010 07:40 am (UTC)
IDC LOVE HER AND I HOPE SHE CONTINUES TO SLOWLY GET BETTER AND BACK ON HER FEET
WE NEED THAT NEW ALBUM BITCH XOXO

Good for her, but that's way too much $$ though. I'd think she'd want to focus on sales and notoriety over fashion cred, no? Idk.
mental_picture 6th-Apr-2010 07:41 am (UTC)
but when does it go to the clearance racks untouched?
ms_firecrotch 6th-Apr-2010 07:56 am (UTC)
never because all her products sell out
itsmemofo 6th-Apr-2010 07:42 am (UTC)
stop trying to make this happen.
ms_firecrotch 6th-Apr-2010 07:56 am (UTC)
it already happened back in 2008
itsmemofo 6th-Apr-2010 07:58 am (UTC)
LOL. i meant her career. shes failed at everything, why keep adding more to the list?
jemjoop 6th-Apr-2010 07:48 am (UTC)
Good to see her working. According to the Daily 10 (who offered her a job), she's two months behind on rent and about to be evicted. Get it together, Linds.
_toxicology 6th-Apr-2010 07:55 am (UTC)
malicious lies.
ms_firecrotch 6th-Apr-2010 07:57 am (UTC)
all lies, her rep has already dismissed those rumors
jemjoop 6th-Apr-2010 07:58 am (UTC)
Does Lilo read ONTD?
_toxicology 6th-Apr-2010 07:53 am (UTC)
what glorious news <33
chinolim 6th-Apr-2010 07:59 am (UTC)
please please please make this a good collection. i just wish something positive will happen to her career.
burningmarl 6th-Apr-2010 08:03 am (UTC)
i know she wants to be srs bsns but would it not make more sense to make it cheaper for the teen market? or do teens these days not know who she is...
papertoad 6th-Apr-2010 08:05 am (UTC)
cute icon
burningmarl 6th-Apr-2010 02:49 pm (UTC)
Thank you, c'est moi
ms_firecrotch 6th-Apr-2010 08:19 am (UTC)
it's not aimed at teenagers. if you're going to nordstrom anyway $80 for a pair of leggings is common
whitegirlthin 6th-Apr-2010 10:22 am (UTC)
I'm sure a lot of teens today know who Lindsay Lohan is. LOL come on now. And I'm not even a fan ;p
papertoad 6th-Apr-2010 08:04 am (UTC)
I hope it's nice but maybe she should go to a fashion school or watevz they're called first...
