The Jig Is Up Lo-Hoe

Lindsay Lohan, crack whore who "uses boys for drugs and girls for thrills," has recently been taken on by French design house Emanuel Ungaro as "artistic advisor" beating out Paris Hilton from the running.

The term "artistic adviser" is a role defined by the Ungaro boss, Mounir Moufarrige, as being "a dancing, swinging, living doll" and "a moving advertising campaign" for the brand.

I must say, Mounir Mouffarige, is a big risk taker. He employed a fake tanning, crack addicted trollop, to inject a youthful, Hollywood edge into his label as well as promote it.

What a terrible idea it was from the start. Even Ungaro’s last designer, Esteban Cortazar, thought it was a bad idea. Appointed in 2007, he was recently fired because he refused to work with Lo-Hoe and I don’t blame him.

So here we have new head designer, Estrella Archs, who was hired hastily to replace Esteban Cortaza and given only one month to put a collection together with Lo-Hoe. No wonder it was a miss.

Lo-Hoe’s vision failed miserably. The show was trashed by critics and her unenthusiastic response from the audience following the show was outright sad. But if publicity is what Mounir Moufarrige wanted, publicity he sure did get it.

During the hectic last days of preparation for the runway show, Lo-Hoe was nowhere to be found. She was too busy tweeting her celebrity friends like Lilly Allen to come to the show. Swarms of photographers, television crews, bloggers and journalists nearly brought down the temporary wall built to divide the backstage area from the catwalk just to get close to Lo-Hoe after the show.

Below you will find pieces from the Ungaro Spring 2010 collection. Every piece in this collection looks like something Lo-Hoe would wear and it’s very disappointing as I’m not one for micro-mini skirts, bandeau bra tops and heart-shaped titty pasties.

I guess this is what you get when you have one month to put a collection together.

Oh and P.S., Lo-Hoe signed a deal for the next 5 years with Ungaro! Yes, that’s right...another 5 MORE frightening years of clashing hues, skimpy party dresses, bandeau bra tops and heart-shaped titty pasties.

    Perhaps the best quote ever. This preeeetty much sums it up! Ask yourself, 'since when has Lo-Hoe ever screamed fashion?!' ... hmmm, NEVER.

    Serious nightmare.
