“Yes (she’s staying on), she has a job to do,” Mofarrige said on the sidelines of the Milan Fashion Global Fashion Summit.

The new Ungaro line which debuted in Paris in October from chief designer Estrella Archs with artistic advice from Lindsay received lots of negative press from fashion critics who in general didn’t like the collection.

“The criticism was harsh. I am sure we can do better in the collection to be honest but I think it was harsh … But it did sell well,” Moufarrige said.

Moufarrige added that future Ungaro collections needed to be “more tight, more identity driven.”

Britain’s Harvey Nichols and Harrods as well as New York’s Bloomingdales and Japanese stores were among those who had shown interest in the collection, Moufarrige said.

Meanwhile, retired founder Emanuel Ungaro, who stepped down a few years ago, recently was quoted by the media saying the collection was a “disaster.”

“Mr Ungaro has his views, he can keep them. I have no comment,” Moufarrige said about Ungaro’s opinions.

Lindsay Lohan’s

The interview was done during Lindsay’s time in Paris, where she preparing for the launch of the new Ungaro collection as her role as creative advisor.

Needless to say, the article is not very favorable for Lindsay.  The photo shoot by Ellen von Unwerth shows photos of Lindsay in her Paris hotel room with designer clothes thrown all over the place and in awkward angles. Honestly, to me, it appears they were trying to make her look bad or make her room look “chaotic.”  But  that’s just my opinion.

“I’ve always been really interested in, you know, the fashion industry, and I really have a great appreciation for designers, and all the work that goes into one piece of clothing, and how expressive it can be,” Lindsay told The Sunday time about her experience working with Ungaro before the fashion show. “This is more personal to me. It is more about who I am and what I want to say as a person through clothing.”

After hearing the mostly negative reviews from the fashion show, Lindsay had this comment:

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I didn’t expect everyone to be completely loving the collection. It is the same with everything I have done. I knew that people were going to target me. I am a target. I don’t know why I am, but I am, and I accept that. I just don’t pay attention to it,” Lindsay told The Sunday Times.”

Lindsay also had been spotted shopping at Dior and Curve. In these set of photos, Lindsay is wearing a trendy black trenchcoat over her black leggings, beige top and black jacket.

According to OK Magazine, Lindsay also attended the launch for Victoria’s Secret new scent “Velvet.”

At this event, Lindsay was quite talkative — saying all of the Lohan girls plan to pursue their gifts – shoes for mom Dina Lohan, singing for sister Ali Lohan and designing, acting and singing for Lindsay.

Here’s what Lindsay said about her sister when questioned if she gives her advice about her music career.

“I don’t really give her any advice. When we’re together she’s my sister. We don’t really talk about it. It’s just a lot of work and she knows that from watching me,” Lindsay said according to OK Magazine.

Lindsay said news for her mother’s shoe line took her by surprise.

“She’s excited. And she has great taste in shoes. Since I’ve been a little girl I’ve always known my mom to be in heels. Never in flats. So I would buy her flats and she would never wear them. They’ll all be heels,” Lindsay told OK Magazine.

Lindsay also had a lot to say about fashion and her role as the artistic advisor for Ungaro.

“I’m going back to Paris,” Lindsay said. “The next collection that they have is already in January. I was thinking about March — thinking that I have until March — and they’re like, oh no-no-no it’s January in New York. I was like, (gasp) okay… I’ll be back!”

Does that mean Lindsay is headed back to Paris really soon? I’m not sure.

Lindsay said she also is working on acting again and starting her music career back up.

“I want to play [silent film star] Clara Bow. I’ve been working for a while now, getting the rights to her life story. I have someone writing it,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay also told OK Magazine she would love to be on HBO’s True Blood.

“I’m obsessed with True Blood,” Lindsay told OK Magazine.

By the way, it appears that Lindsay has deleted some of her recent tweets about on-off girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s family. The only one that remains is this Tweet from Monday:

@samantharonson what happened?

Wearing black leggings and layered white tees, Lindsay dressed up her outfit with a cropped silver jacket and hemp jewelry.

However, Linday’s bottom tee appears to be snagged. That’s the second time she’s had the snag problem lately.

Lindsay, who was recently been named Ungaro’s artistic advisor, has been in Paris for Fashion Week and Ungaros’ own fashion show.

I love Lindsay’s colorful irridescent handbag she is carrying (it looks like a rainbow!). I also like her black heels that feature a polka dot black and white bow and white polka dots on the heel.

Lindsay was in Paris for the Ungaro Ready-to-Wear 2009/2010 Collection show held during Parish Fashion Week on Sunday, where Lindsay serves as the new artistic advisor.

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.

Here, Estrella Archs and Lindsay talk about how excited they are about the launch:

“I couldn’t be happier. It’s just seeing everything together,” a very excited Lindsay Lohan said during the interview. “We’ve been in the office over there until 1 (a.m.) in the morning – and 3 (a.m.) – it’s just – a dream.”

When asked if Lindsay could see a lot of “herself” in the collection – she said it both Lindsay and Estrella -as they both like to wear the same thing.

“It’s incredible – everything that’s happened tonight,” Lindsay said.

Lindsay was wearing a white tee with medium-length sleeves and tight black leather leggings. The words “We are all made of stars” was featured on the tee’s pocket and on the back of the shirt. She also wore a black headband with what looks like a heart on the side.

Lindsay is in the city for Paris Fashion Week and for the upcoming Ungaro show where the new collection will debut. Ungaro recently named Lindsay its artistic advisor.
