Blog-alicious: Meet Caroline. She’s guest blogging for Lucky (how we found her), but she’s actually a textile designer with her own blog full of illustrations, both fashion and otherwise, and other very pretty things. {ItLooksGoodToMe}

Oscar & Valentino: The designer’s doc is on the short-list for an Oscar nom. Sadly, The September Issue is not. But we’re still pulling for a fashion victory. Also, we couldn’t be more excited for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to host. {Vogue UK}

Thigh High: The kids over at Nylon sound like they had a grand old time recreating Miuccia’s super festive socks and they’re letting us in on the scheme. Just in time for party season. Hooray! {Nylon}

This is the End: They may be denying it, but sources say there’s a major brawl going down between executives at Ungaro over what else? La Lohan. Let’s hope the best man wins. {Page Six}

If you thought Lindsay Lohan might give fashion a rest post-Ungaro, you’re wrong.

After hanging out with jeweler Pascal Mouawad at Jermaine Dupri’s house late last week, she told Access Hollywood that the two are actually working together, “we’re doing something with a friend who owns bebe.”

We wish we knew the terms of her Ungaro contract; if it doesn’t forbid her from working on other fashion collections, especially an American mall brand, CEO Mounir Moufarrige must be kicking himself (if he wasn’t already). That is, assuming Lindsay hasn’t made this up.

Poor Ungaro, if he reached the soul-sucking stage of grief last week, this news might put him over a dangerous edge.

“I am going back to Paris for the next collection. I am learning. It’s in January. I thought it was in March.” —Lindsay Lohan’s Ungaro learning curve.

These past few weeks we’ve seen a resurgence of all things juvenile. From pigtails at Prada to side braids at Wang, girlish hairstyles are a go for spring, but it doesn’t stop at the head.

Tao, Moschino, YSL and Ungaro embraced the youthful phenomenon in their Spring collections. Each designer topped their ready-to-wear with prints that would make any little girl giddy. Tao and YSL chose strawberries while Moschino opted for cherries (as did Anna Dello Russo on her feet all week). The playful prints are charming and romantic, stopping just short of saccharine, but the reviews weren’t, to put it mildly, nearly as positive at Ungaro.

So that Lindsay Lohan situation at Ungaro that we talked about a while back? Yeah, it’s happening.

Late last night, WWD reported that Ungaro had name Ms. Lohan the “artistic advisor” to the house. They’ve also got a new designer, Spaniard Estella Archs, who has shown her own collections in Paris as of late, though we’re not super familiar with them. She’s a Central Saint Martins grad who apparently has Nina Ricci, Cacharel, Hussein Chalayan, Emilio Pucci and Prada on her resumé. But according to the article Lindsay “kind of oversees everything [Archs] does, while working with her. Different generations have different ideas.” This is sounding more press hungry by the minute. Oy.

Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige told WWD, “Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.” Um, duh. If Lindsay goes to the bathroom, it’s a story. But is tabloid press going to spark sales at the house? We’re not convinced. But obviously Mourfarrige is. He’s quite the smitten kitten about LL throughout the lengthy WWD piece, lauding the idea that she changes clothes five times a day and calling her closet a “mini-department store.”

Paris Fashion Week is suffering from a major celebrity drought.

Which means that putting Rachel Zoe front row at Ungaro today was like feeding a pack of hungry wolves. The paparazzi went nuts and I almost believed the crush was for an A-list star.

Nope. Just Rachel and her husband, with Brad happily behind them soaking in the brightly colored and surprisingly hip Fall 09 collection that Esteban Cortazar sent down the runway at the Louvre this morning.

Everyone oohed at the royal blue chunky knit sweater - the shoulders were covered in fine silver chains and the wrapped neck practically swallowed the model’s head. There were ruffled pink mini dresses and very cool black tights covered with silver metal dots. The architectural pieces didn’t work as well but the ruched mini skirts and sheer blouses made up for it.

And the girls made it down the runway without a single broken heel.

Julia, Architect

Got Her: Dans les Tuileries yesterday afternoon.

Stalked Her: Because if we wore fur, we’d wear it like that - had to ask where it came from.

Shot Her: Because she’s an architect who fit in perfectly with the Parisian fashion crowd and that is quite a feat. Aside from Lagerfeld, she’s working on sets for Ungaro and Costume National. Plus, we’re obsessing over black and navy as of late.

She Says: “I have always loved fashion but it turns out I’m good at architecture so I found a way to do both! I think they are very similar, you’re just designing space but on very different scales”

We Say: You might’ve mastered both.

Tanya D. is laughing really hard backstage at Ungaro because she’s just pulled on her thigh-high Chanel boots post-rehearsal and someone’s telling her to take them off.

Why?

Because the shoes are breaking, the show starts in seventeen minutes and Esteban Cortazar is freaking out. They tell her the shoe is too big and she counters that the heel is wobbly. They want to stuff tissues into the toe and she says absolutely not.

“Can you walk,” they ask?

“Of course I can walk,” she says.

And she does. Clothes coming up.
