The week started off with Sunday’s Ungaro show in Paris, which was “artistically advised” by Lindsay Lohan and designed by Spaniard Estrella Archs. The show, which featured trashy clothes and sequined heart-shaped nipple pasties, was deemed a total disaster. And yet, Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige says he thinks even the bad publicity will be good for the house. Also, Lohan’s lips grew two sizes overnight! Check out what’s new from Paris at NYMag’s The Cut Blog.

Looking for some new sustainable pieces? Check out New York based designer Meiling Chen. She’s got an entire line of eco-friendly pieces that don’t look anything like the ones you’d find at your local hemp-based boutique.

Jane Aldridge, the fashion blogger better known as Sea of Shoes, has a boyfriend! She revealed him to her fans the other day. His name is Amit, and he’s just as well dressed as she is. He too has a blog, but he doesn’t photograph his outfits because he thinks doing is “vain, narcissistic and pathological.” That’s awkward. Note: Amit has already taken down the blog post in which he said the words above.

Check out these fabulous sustainable jewelry pieces by The Harbinger Co. Their Etsy shop is overflowing with funky laser-cut bamboo pieces.

Try and tell me you’re not obsessed with the way this dress falls on the body. It’s from Sosume, an Aussie label that’s helmed by not one, but four designers – all of whom share a sustainable philosophy. The line’s easy pieces are made from Modal (derived from beechwood) and Tencel (eucalyptus pulp), and a portion of the proceeds is donated to charities and organizations that work to keep our world sustainable. Forget Ts by Alexander Wang – these pieces look even softer!

Jean Paul Gaultier made a baby plate just for 19-year-old model Jourdan Dunn so that she could walk his Paris runway. Dunn also sported a cone bra. She’s seven months preggers.

Note: when I die, I want to be buried in Alber Elbaz’s Spring 2010 collection for Lanvin. Any piece will do. Featuring everything from frothy tulle mini-dresses to leather pouf sleeves, Elbaz once again hit it out of the park.

Back to Paris for a moment. Viktor and Rolf told the press they were inspired by cutbacks. “So we took a chainsaw and hacked away at the excess, starting with the tulle,” said Viktor. Voila, the dress optical illusionary gown at right!

Looking to revamp your wardrobe for fall? Can’t afford the McQueen booties above as an early Spring present? Worry no more, beanies. Check out Sublet’s Fall 2009 line. It’s full of wearable sustainable pieces. As the founders say, hemp has come a long way. Speaking of McQueen, he’s suing Steve Madden for copying his Faithful booties. Madden has long been famous for knockoffs, but his Seryna bootie comes a bit too close to the original.

Marc Jacobs went street chic for Louis Vuitton Spring 2010. Apparently, Vogue’s Grace Coddington “whooped with delight” as the first afro-ed model came down the runway. However, it doesn’t exactly seem like the models are feeling their hair, non? Come on ladies, take us to Funkytown!

Alexander McQueen is such a genius. I mean, look at these shoes. McQueen’s show featured alien-like models, but the shoes killed it. How do you even describe these babies?

Karl Lagerfeld has spent so much time in Vermont that he’s started to feel their fashion choices. Case in point: he sent clogs down his Spring 2010 runway. Come on Karl, my doctor mother wore them first.

Forget Chanel, I’d rather spend my autumn in Untitled 11:11’s easy eco-friendly pieces. Their trendless, simple and ladylike pieces are made from locally sourced fabrics. Check them out here.
