Moufarriage hired Lindsay as an artistic advisor for the spring/summer 2010 collection in October, advising chief designer Estrella Archs.

But when the collection made its debut during Paris Fashion Week, critics weren’t impressed.

An Ungaro spokeswoman said Moufarrige’s resignation had nothing to do with Lindsay.

“Mounir Moufarrige has withdrawn from serving as president of Emanuel Ungaro in order to devote more time to his other businesses, namely, in the watch and jewelry industry,” the statement said, according to Reuters.

And, Ungaro said that Moufarrige would continue to advise the company.

Well, it was a mixture of colors, lots of bustiers, sexy looks and off-the-shoulder designs. The new looks are courtesy of Ungaro designer Estrella Archs and Ungaro’s new artistic advisor Lindsay Lohan.

Women Wear Daily has a gallery that showcases all of the looks from the Ungaro runway.

 I like about 50 percent of the looks. For example, I like the hot pink dress on the far right, which is the same as black and white version Archs is wearing in the photo. I liked the bustiers, but I did not like the designs featuring jackets with no shirt underneath with only stars or hearts on their chests. But for the most part, there were a lot of good designs. Could you see Lindsay’s influence? I see a little, but not as much as I would have liked.

Fashion critics weren’t too fond of the looks, but of course, there’s no right or wrong opinion about fashion, and I wonder if they were overly critical because of Lindsay. Only having been on the job for three weeks, I hope Lindsay and Archs work together more in the future to make a collection that has more of the younger vibe that Lindsay brings to life in person.

Here’s what WWD had to say about the collection:

“As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated, as has often been the case chez Ungaro during the post-Emanuel revolving door of designers. Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and ‘creative directed’ by another. Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies?” the WWD article said.

“I’m thrilled. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of such an amazing team of people and collection. And it’s only going to get better, better and better,” Lindsay said during a press interview.

When questioned about what she thinks about those who say she doesn’t have the experience to do the job, Lindsay says everyone is entitled to their opinion.

“They probably will but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But Estrella and I are doing great things, so that’s all that matters,” Lindsay said.
