Not everyone is a designer

While some people can sing, dance AND act, the majority of creatives who make a living doing something creative tend to focus and specialize in a particular field. And while yes, some people who design may be incredible photographers, as we market ourselves professionally or as a business, it's recommended to not be a jack of all trades. Perhaps then some actresses who may delve into singing may want to rethink revitalizing an entire fashion house. While it's interesting that a brand like Ungaro "used" Lindsay Lohan's fame and packaged that as a "muse" (and please stop me with the quote speak) I think it's a telling sign that sometimes bad publicity IS bad publicity. There are so many talented fashion designers out there who really deserve to show in Paris Fashion Week. And while money can buy you style, it doesn't mean you have taste.
