LINDSAY LOHAN - LOHAN NAMED NEW FACE OF LOUIS VUITTON

LINDSAY LOHAN is set to replace model GISELE BUNDCHEN as the face of fashion label LOUIS VUITTON. The label's head designer, MARC JACOBS, has asked her to pose for the Autumn/Winter 2006-07 collection. The MEAN GIRLS star will follow in the footsteps of JENNIFER LOPEZ and UMA THURMAN, who have also represented the company. A source tells American magazine Us Weekly, "She just got asked to be in the ads. She's going to say yes." Lohan is a long-time fan of the company and is "extremely excited" according to the source. The move has raised fashionista eyebrows, as some insiders believe the 19-year-old isn't sophisticated enough to represent the prestigious fashion house. Jacobs has stated that he wants his next ad campaign to be young and "cartoony".
