She hasn’t had a lead movie role in years, so now Lindsay Lohan hopes to pay her bills as the face of a new collection from German designer Philipp Plein. Bizarrely, Lohan admitted the collaboration came about so “spontaneously” that she hadn’t met Plein until Friday or seen a stitch of the designer’s new line until Saturday. But yesterday, she posed for Plein’s new campaign at a shoot in Lake Como, Italy.

“Something important to know about this collection is that its expressing something a little bit more edgy,” said Lohan, who was wearing a skintight black dress with spikes on the shoulders. “And I think maybe people’s perceptions of me have been kind of taken out of context just from what you see and read,” said the troubled actress. But, she admitted she and the designer “just met Friday.” However Plein thinks she’s perfect. “For me she’s authentic, she’s talented, she’s beautiful,” he gushed at a news conference at Milan fashion week.
