Lindsay Lohan

It was revealed over the weekend that Lohan’s high profile internship with Emanuel Ungaro was unpaid. The New York Post reported on its infamous Page Six that Lohan paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris to appear at Paris Fashion Week. But she was only unpaid if you are talking about cash. She reportedly accepted $100,000 of Ungaro clothing as payment.

Fox 411 reported that “Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them. Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes.”

Some in the fashion world were shocked by the pairing up of the tabloid magnet Lohan with the Italian designer. Naeem Khan said when told about the hook-up, “Esteban is a great friend of mine, and I think it’s a very dangerous move that they’re making.”

In other Lohan news, rumor has it that the aspiring singer has been dropped by Casablanca, her record label, “put[ting] their working relationship with her on hold.” Lohan’s third studio album, Spirit in the Dark, has been under production for over a year. There’s been no comment from Lohan or her “people” about the rumored record label dumping.

The Spanish designer and the actress/singer/tabloid sensation are slated to present their first collection in Paris on Oct. 4, likely coming out together at the end of the runway for a bow.

For her part, Lohan, 23, told WWD she hopes to take Ungaro to a “younger place” with a harder fashion edge.

Asked to describe her role in the creative process, Lohan said she “kind of oversees everything [Archs] does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas. See entire article at Women’s Wear Daily
