Defying her critics, Lindsay Lohan is proudly showing off her newly expanded 6126 fashion line by modeling the clothes herself in the label’s Fall 2010 lookbook. The star’s latest collection has expanded to include much more than just her original lineup of leggings, and by the looks of it, Lindsay’s new designs–such as this sequined jumper–are perfect for evenings out in Hollywood. Expect to see leather jackets, jumpsuits and dresses come fall. And by spring 2011, Lohan will branch out even further by adding a collection of handbags to 6126. See more styles at InStyle.com.

Lindsay Lohan “Not Involved” in Latest Ungaro Collection

It looks like Lindsay Lohan might have a little more time to focus exclusively on her 6126 line of leggings and apparel in the days ahead. After months of tumult over her appointment as the artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro — and one not well-received runway show — the unlikely team appears to have parted ways. The actress was not present at the Ungaro fashion show today during Paris Fashion Week, and the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD backstage, “She’s not involved in this collection,” while declining to comment further. The actress quickly went from describing her catwalk debut as “pretty much a fairytale” to being bashed in the design world, even incurring the ire of the brand’s respected namesake founder, who deemed her first and maybe only collection for his former house “a disaster.” Tell us: What do you think of Lindsay’s possible departure from Ungaro?–Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Lindsay Lohan Accused of Copying Designs for Her 6126 Line

Looks like Lindsay Lohan‘s hope for a drama-free 2010 is already over. Merely a week after plans to expand her leggings line 6126 into a full fashion line hit the internet — complete with sketches — Lindsay has been accused of copying designs by two separate designers, reports WWD. First, James Lillis, designer of Black Milk Clothing, took to his blog, toomanytights.typepad.com, to point out the similarities between Lindsay’s “Diamond” leggings and his own “Sheer Spartan” leggings — both of which boast a signature triangle cutout at mid-thigh. Next,Fashionista.com labeled Lindsay’s geometric dress as a dead ringer for a Jen Kao dress the star wore only last month — to which designer Jen Kao responded to WWD, saying, “While we are all well aware that being ‘mimicked’ or ‘copied’ has always existed in this industry, I think the evolution of it all has grown to an alarming level. It’s a shame to support the concept of taking advantage of designers who are still trying to develop a name and solidify the image of their design aesthetic.” While Lindsay has yet to respond to the accusations against her, Kristi Kaylor, president of 6126, defended Lindsay and the integrity of her designs to WWD, saying, “The alleged ‘copying’ claims made by these companies are false and have absolutely no merit or validity whatsoever. Any alleged similarities are purely coincidental. The 6126 illustrations for the upcoming fall 2010 collections do not even describe the fabric content, fit or actual construction details of the garments. This is merely an accusation based upon a pencil sketch with no concrete viable evidence to back up the allegations.”

While Lindsay Lohan‘s troubles as artistic advisor at Ungaro continue, the actress isn’t letting sartorial drama at the French fashion house slow down production of her own signature 6126 legging line. Yesterday Lindsay took to Twitter to reveal that she would be expanding the collection beyond hosiery, saying, “i need MORE followers i am so sad about this, how can i tell everyone about my 6126 full collection COMING OUT! all clothing.” This morning, WWD confirms that the expanded collection will launch for fall 2010 and feature 100 pieces that range from $18 leggings to a $300 leather jacket. The following spring the line will grow even further, to encompass 150 items, including handbags, shoes, jewelry and cosmetics.

More Tumultuous News for Lindsay Lohan at Emanuel Ungaro

Just last month Emanuel Ungaro president Mounir Moufarrige defended his controversial decision to appoint Lindsay Lohan as the label’s artistic advisor. This morning, WWD reports, Moufarrige has resigned. President since 2006, Moufarrige had always been one of Lohan’s chief defenders, recently telling reporters, “The criticism was harsh. I am sure we can do better in the collection to be honest but I think it was harsh.” Of her own part in the fashion fiasco, which featured models flashing sequined pasties in October’s runway show, the 23-year-old starlet blamed “coming in so late and having not that much time to do a whole collection.” The house, and Lindsay’s continuing role within it, will now be overseen by the brand’s newly named general manager, Marie Fournier. Go to Instyle.com to view Lindsay’s infamous first pass at designing French fashion. Tell us: are you excited to see what Lindsay will turn out next at Emanuel Ungaro?
