Despite the fact that the economy is crumbling beneath our very feet, Lindsay Lohan’s absurdly over-priced leggings are selling like hotcakes.
“They’re blowing off the shelves,” says Jill Lowe, publicist for high-end Hollywood boutique Intuition.
The Marilyn Monroe-inspired leggings – which cost anywhere from $44 to $132 – are also flying out the doors at Henri Bendel, Nordstrom, Intermix and Lisa Kline.
From leopard prints to zippered black tights, Lindsay’s got a lil’ something for everyone with 35 styles in various colors and patterns.
Across the board, stores say, Lohan’s best-seller is her Mr. President leggings – the most expensive and unique-looking option. Black with grey knee patches, the $132 tights are a big hit from coast to coast.
Craziness! Who’d’ve thunk it??
And Lohan’s gonna keep going with this “designer” shit.
Lohan and her team plan to develop four collections a year – spring, summer, fall and holiday – and they want to get even bigger.
“We are building a lifestyle brand that represents timeless glamour,” Brubaker says. “Our hope is to organically [roll] out additional product categories over the next several years.”
Have you bought a pair of Lindsay’s leggings???
If so, reveal yourself and tell us why!!!
“Marilyn Monroe inspired” LEGGINGS?? Has ANYONE EVER seen a picture of MM wearing LEGGINGS, for pity sake? Cropped pants, clam-diggers (as they called them back then, I think?) capris…YES. Actually cotton/lyrca leggings? Lindsay is delusional.
I’ll get my leggings, IF I wear ’em (and in Seattle I like ’em with my black Uggs and a cashmere sweater and scarf–there, I said it) at Nordstrom for $13 bucks. Thanks, though.
this picture of her is horrible. haha look at her face.
ewwwwwwww!! i wouldnt even touch those leggings with an ugly stick
“mr. president” with knee pads. . .hmmm. . .sounds like they are monica lewinski inspired.
i’m sorry, linds, but are you so drunk you’re taking a shadooby on your shoe?! don’t push so hard or you might go out like elvis instead of marilyn.
can someone please explain to me how leggings with built in knee pads represents “timeless glamour” and not “I will happily give you a blowjob on the asphalt of a parking lot”?
Patches on the knees remind me of those ugly jackets men wear with patches on the elbows. YUCK. I get my leggings at GAP or express. Leggings are leggings. Why pay a lot? I don’t wear them all the time so if they fall apart so what? I’d rather pay 20 to 30 bucks and wear it a few times and buy a pair months later when I want to wear them again then pay 200 bucks please. Oh newport news has them too.
ok I am not buying them but honestly, the ones she has on in that picture are hot!
does she (and whoever is buying them..) honestly not know that you can buy legging at REGULAR places like Target and Charlotte Russe for like $12.95?
yeah Marilyn never had leggings… wtf?!?! lol btw.. why does she look like she is trying to take a dump in that photo?
diddo joan!
oh i just looked up what 6126 meant and apparently that is marilyn monroe’s birthday. so now the mr. president name does make sense because we all know marilyn was doing more for him than singing.
people buy legging because they love it simply as that
If you think what you read from internet gossip is what most people think.it’s time to get real.
dang Julia. you said actually what I was going to. “Marilyn Monroe-inspired”???? what the hell is that. Yeah she looooved leggings. It was all she wore. That makes no sense.
and yes, she does look like she is taking a poo in the picture. and is disgusted by the smell. and those leggings are awful.
and no, I would never consider buying any of them. Who is buying these?
She totes looks like her mom in that photo.
the line & names are Marilyn-inspired. Not the look itself. Not that it makes it any less overpriced & tacky.
I must remind you that you were hawking some really ugly bangles for 78 bucks just last week… ?
Trust me, in 5 years you’re going to pull that bangle out of your jewelry box and give it a disgusted “what was I thinking” look and then happily toss it in the garbage can…
I bought a black pair that have zippers on the ankles, but they were less expensive and a little cuter.
Seriously guys. Forever 21. $4.80.
Marilyn was one of the most beautiful woman and fashion icons that has ever lived. what. the. hell. lohan.
People? Do yourselves a favor as to not look like total asshats: READ. It does NOT say anywhere that the leggings are modelled off anything Marilyn actually wore…just INSPIRED by her. You know, like they are glamorous and expensive?
Leggings are awesome, but not at that price. Even if her designs seem pretty cool (not sure about the kneepatches thing though…). And hey, it’s good that she has something to cash in on when her acting career dies…
They look rad, the fit is great and who wouldn’t wanna support LL and her girl :-)
It’s the same people that buy Paris Hilton perfume gift sets.
Since when are leggings a ‘timeless fashion.’ The last time I remember leggings being super hot I was in grade school. I am totally shocked they can back in style, my roommate flat out refuses to follow the trend. Don’t quit your day job Lindsay… oh wait you kinda have… what have you been in lately? Ugh.
It’s the gay, hookers., chav’s, illegals and tranny’s who want to have their celeb name brand stuff too.
Hey Beebeec…
you are classy- listing gays with hookers and illegals and trannys…
really classy.
I bet you bought those classy leggings too huh?
i think paris hilton sparked the animal print leggings craze, although hers were more HOSE.
Absurdly over priced is an interesting comment from a woman who tried to promote her friends $80 bracelets not too long ago…
@ beebeec
Ignorant.
What is the point of that comment other than to show that you’re narrow minded and mean?
The ones she’s wearing in the picture ARE fuckin’ awesome, but I wouldn’t pay more than thirty dollars for a pair of leggings, even ones like that.
Honestly, any pair of leggings other than that I wouldn’t pay more than twenty for.
I’m super-confused about how exactly they’re inspired by Monroe, because, contrary to what “The Starcow” said, if an article of clothing is inspired by someone, it generally looks SOMETHING like something the person would wear.
