After Lindsay Lohan tried and tried to get herself a modeling contract with a major fashion house earlier this year, starting with Louis Vuitton and then Versace. It didn't quite work out at the time, but Lindsay has finally gotten lucky. She was just signed to be the new face of Miu Miu for their spring 2007 ad campaign. In the past, the fashion house has used Kim Basinger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore and Chloë Sevigny, as well as several Chinese actresses and Japanese model Lina Ohta. Whether this will be a one-off for the starlet, or will lead to more contracts, remains to be seen.

Nothing makes a big, well-publicized event as exciting as a wardrobe malfunction, but I will admit that it is more exciting at a sporting event than a fashion one. With all the costume changes and models running around backstage, trying to fit into samples of various clothing, it isn’t surprising that, from time to time, there will be a malfunction. In India, a recent show seemed plagued with malfunctions and, given the conservative nature of the media and guests in attendance, it created quite a stir.

Personally, I was much more interested in the clothes that were being shown than the media uproar that followed. Indian Fashion Week mega-show featured Indian designers, like Anupama Dayal and Shahzad Kalim and was full of silken, flowing skirts, vibrant colors, corset tops and lots of accessories, including embroidery and lace on the clothing. Dayal’s designs in particular were gorgeous and I have heard that some will be exported to parts of Europe and the US in the coming months. Anyone have any leads on a store, yet?
