Top five statement smoky eyes for SS 2012

By Andrea Petrou on January 18th, 2012

The Spring season is almost upon us and we can’t wait to push those jumpers to the back of our wardrobes. It’s also a great excuse to revamp our make up bags.

If you’re a girl who loves the 60s look then you’ll adore this season’s beauty trends, which give a huge nod to this era. One such look is statement smoky eyes.

Seen on the catwalks of Gucci, Rodarte and Erin Fetherstone this look lets you be as big and bold as you like.

Coat those eyelids with dark bold colours, which spread to the brow and of course under the eyelids add some thick eyeliner and you’re ready to dance away to those cheesy tunes in one of this season’s hottest looks.

See the gallery below for our top five statement smoky eye looks.

Lindsay Lohan continues fashion designing for 6126

By Andrea Petrou on January 4th, 2010

Lindsay.jpgIt seems the phrase “once bitten, twice shy,” has no meaning for Lindsay Lohan.

Fresh from her her disastrous attempt of fashion designing for Ungaro the actress turned, Jackie of all trades, has announced she’ll remain firmly on the style scene and will continue to expand her clothing line 6126.

According to sketches obtained by WWD, her line will consist of 100 pieces including jackets, trousers and skirts. However, we think she may be going down the Ungaro disaster route with her range of padded leggings (yes you read right), which are said to cost around $100.

And just in case the collection goes wrong, and Lindsay tries to blame others we’ve got it on good authority that she has 100% input into the designs.

Kristi Kaylor, principal in 6126 LLC, told WWD: “She’s intimately involved from Day One, She picks fabrics. She looks at trims. She picks buttons. She doesn’t let anything go into production without trying it on.”

Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige defends Lindsay Lohan

By Andrea Petrou on November 26th, 2009

Ungaro and Lindsay.jpgLindsay Lohan and Ungaro has been a long saga that we hoped would have tailed off by now.

However, just as we thought the actress, turned (bad) designer had hung up her sketchbook and pencils the tale has taken another turn.

As rumours ran riot that Lohan could be on her way out of the fashion house following her disasterous S/S2010 debut, Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige jumped to her defence telling WWD: “As we speak, she is in New York in shoots with Ungaro.”

He also denied reports claiming Ungaro chairman Asim Abdullah wanted the actress out.

And it seems Lindsay’s designs have been turning people on rather than off with the fashion house claiming Lohan has had a positive effective on the label’s sales since her arrival, even though her collection is yet to hit the shelves.

“There are some girls out there that whenever they move, whatever they wear, they attract attention, even if they make mistakes. It’s all publicity,” he added.

We’re sure they’ll be plenty more tales in this epic yet.

Lindsay Lohan’s collection for Ungaro takes yet another blow

By Andrea Petrou on November 12th, 2009

linds lo.jpgJust when we thought things couldn’t get any worse for Lindsay’s fashion career, another blinding blow comes her way.

It’s bad enough being described as “sucking the soul” out of a fashion label by the founder, but now Neiman Marcus and Net-A-Porter have dropped Ungaro for spring 2010 (that’s Lindsay’s collection if you’ve been in a fashion slumber for the past few months).

We would advise Ms Lohan to go back to the acting day job but considering her recent roles have been as successful as her fashion debut we fear this may only make things worse.

Perhaps a career away from the limelight might be the best option Lindsay.

Emanuel Ungaro brands Lindsay Lohan’s designs for the fashion house as “a disaster”

By Andrea Petrou on November 11th, 2009

Lins.jpgIt seems Emanuel Ungaro is moving to disassociate himself with Lindsay Lohan’s terrible attempt at designing for the brand.

He described the collection, shown at last month’s Paris fashion week a “disaster”

“I am furious but I can’t do anything about it,” he told reporters at a film festival in Lisbon.
Ungaro, who has not had any dealings with the fashion brand since he left in 2005, also warned the fashion house “is in the process of losing its soul.”

Despite Lindsay’s damage we really hope the brand doesn’t go down the same sad road as Luella. Losing one huge designer is bad enough.

Lindsay Lohan’s designs for Ungaro slated by critics

By Andrea Petrou on October 5th, 2009

Lindsay Lohan has been dealt another blow and this time it’s nothing to do with her love life.

Ungaro and Lindsay.jpgHer long anticipated collection with Spanish designer Estrella Archs for Ungaro has been slated by fashion critics who have called the Spring 2010 range, which features a range of hearts on bottoms and busts, an “embarrassment.”

After the collection’s debut in Paris Fashion Week, WWD, known as the style bible of the industry said: “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. ”

Hilary Alexander, fashion director at the Daily Telegraph, said: “The best that can be said is that they tried.”

We’ve also had a browse around the collection, and unfortunately we’d have to agree that the styles are more tacky than trendy.

Back to the acting day job Lindsay?

Esteban Cortazar to be youngest head designer in fashion at Ungaro

By Andrea Thatcher on December 3rd, 2007

Esteban.jpg

23-year-old Estaban Cortazar, seen here at a CFDA event, will soon be showing in Paris – but not his own namesake line. Cortazar has been named head designer at Ungaro replacing Peter Dundas who left the label in July after three seasons. “The brand needs some youth and he’s got it; he knows what makes a chick tick,” Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, told FWD. The young designer says the new Ungaro woman is “someone who will wear an amazing couture-inspired mini dress but her hair will be messy and she’ll wear unexpected shoes.” We can’t wait to see what he puts together.
