Nov. 20 2009, Published 12:29 p.m. ET
Despite reports and rumors to the contrary RadarOnline.com has learned that French fashion giants Ungaro are sticking by Lindsay Lohan and plan to continue working with the troubled starlet into the future.
The company brought in the Hollywood hellraiser to try and give their image a ‘publicity shot’ after she was hired as an ‘artistic advisor’ to their Spanish designer Estrella Archs.
But head designer Esteban Cortazar resigned rather than choosing to work with Lohan and the collection was panned by critics when it debuted in October.
Reports surfaced Friday that Ungaro’s chairman Asim Abdullah is battling with the company’s CEO Mounir Moufarrige to axe Lohan from her reported seven figure deal.
