Lindsay Lohan and Ungaro: Enough Backlash?

While the talk of Paris Fashion Week is normally clothing, accessories and the like, last week show-goers were abuzz about Lindsay Lohan. The actress, who was tapped to be artistic adviser for Emanuel Ungaro, received almost all negative feedback and backlash from critics and editors. While Estrella Archs, Ungaro's new designer with a solid fashion education, received her share of negativity, it was Lohan who received scathing comments calling her an addict, has-been, and desperate. Fashion blogs like Style.com, TheCut and papers like The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times were flooded with commenters who voiced their opinions on the 23 year-old's contribution to the line. But not everyone was so negative. Stephanie Solomon, vice president and fashion director of Bloomingdale's, New York, told WWD, "I know it sounds a bit controversial, but we loved Ungaro and its sexy, draped minidresses in vibrant, happy colors. Estrella Archs is a talent to watch." And this article in Slate poses the question of why critics were so harsh. We wonder the same thing? What do you think?
