'Brand damager' Lindsay Lohan reportedly not invited to designer Jill Stuart's Fashion Week show
We hear from a source close to La Lohan that the wayward actress (who once was a front-row "It" girl) wasn't invited to Stuart's Fashion Week show because the designer's team considers her a "brand damager."
"A lot of designers, and especially Jill's camp, don't think she's worth all the press she'd get their show," an industry insider leaks, although Stuart denies that she banned Lohan.
But we hear Linds' absence from
NYC is a little personal, too: Her ex-girlfriend, deejay
Samantha Ronson, and Sam's twin sis, designer
Charlotte, practically run Fashion Week.
"Fashion Week kind of belongs to the Ronsons," says the source, "and Charlotte had Lindsay banned from both her show and after-party -- just like she did this past fall."
Since LiLo and Sam had an altercation at
L.A. hot spot the Tea Room on Feb. 3 -- Linds reportedly threw a cigarette at her former flame -- buzz was flying around Charlotte's Friday night Avenue bash that maybe Lohan would try to crash the party to cause more drama.
"Lindsay is welcome at Avenue any other night of the year, as long as she doesn't drink," another insider says. "But there is no way she would have been allowed anywhere near Charlotte's party."
Stuart and Ronson aside, there was one place Linds was welcome: We hear that even after she caused a seating stir at
G-Star Raw's show last fall -- she reportedly demanded her assignment be changed -- she was invited back.
But fear not, fashionistas, we can confirm that she won't be attending.
"She pulled out at the last minute when she decided not to go to
New York," the source says. "It was the only show she would have been welcomed at."
