Lindsay Lohan wants to start a Paris boutique
Lindsay Lohan, unlike many stars in her place, would rather not start a clothing line or a fragrance line or anything like that. Although I’m sure we’ll see many more products from her along this line - after all, that is why she has a promotions team working with her - her dream is really to open a Paris boutique.
her fantasy is… to open an exclusive Paris boutique filled with designer clothing.
"I’d only do it if Karl Lagerfeld was interested [in having his clothes there]," Lohan tells the mag. "Or Tom Ford. Or Alexander McQueen. Or Jean Paul Gaultier. Or Proenza Schouler."
Certainly, starting a shop would solve the problem of having to pick which designer she loves the most, a dilemma Lohan would face if she followed her other fantasy of becoming the face for a fashion line. All spring, the air has been ripe with rumors that she’d be modeling fall campaigns for Louis Vuitton, and then Versace, but neither has panned out.
"I very much wanted her to appear in the [fall ‘06] LV campaign, but it didn’t work out," Marc Jacobs told Bazaar. "Hopefully it will next time."
Luckily for Lohan, she has a lot of friends in the fashion world, from models like Kate Moss to designers such as Jacobs, Lagerfeld (who shot her for Interview magazine recently), Stella McCartney (whom she calls "my surrogate sister"), and Donatella Versace (whom she met through their mutual hairdresser), so all she has to do is convince one of them to give her a campaign. But who to choose?
Maybe they’ll choose for her if she just lets each of them know she’s their biggest fan — as she did during her conversation with Interview. During the chat, when someone was on the phone with Miuccia Prada, Lohan jumped on the line to gush, "Do you know, my first bag — like, the cool bag to have when I was in high school — was the black Prada backpack?"
While the actress can rattle off all the new collections she loves — "Yves Saint Laurent’s collection is genius for fall. Balenciaga is amazing. And I love Rick Owens and Alessandro Dell’Acqua and Giambattista Valli and Roland Mouret. I could go on and on," she enthused to Bazaar -— Lohan’s dream gig would be to rep Lagerfeld’s Chanel. She’s even begged to work as a shopgirl, going behind the Chanel counter to check everything out.
"They’re like, ‘Lindsay, you’re on the wrong side — that’s where the salespeople stand.’ And I’m like, ‘No, just let me do it, please, I’ll work here for the day,’ " Lohan told Interview. "I like the idea of being able to represent something that I really care about. And if young girls are going to look up to me and I love something like Chanel or Louis Vuitton, then they’ll say, ‘Ooh! Lindsay really likes Chanel.’"
But perhaps that unabashed enthusiasm is what’s working against her; if Lohan’s a fan of everything and everyone, then how true could her allegiance to any one brand be? After all, we’re talking about a girl who wore three different dresses to the Academy Awards (Versace, then Calvin Klein, then Christian Lacroix). That’s why working as a shopgirl — not for Chanel, but for her very own boutique — could be the best solution…
