Can you imagine Jessica in Miu Miu?
Last week, Sarah reported that Lindsay Lohan would be the new face of Miu Miu. Most of us greeted the news with a dose of skepticism -- Lindsay wearing Miu Miu? You must be kidding!Well, according to a story in the New York Post, La Lohan was not Miu Miu's only pick. Miu Miu had originally considered Jessica Simpson for the ad campaign, but her name was quickly nixed from the short list once the Miu Miu photographers heard that she was in the running.
As the story unfolded, it became clear that the problem wasn't so much Jessica Simpson. It was her beloved hairstylist, Ken Paves. A few months earlier, photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were scheduled to shoot Simpson for a spread in Vanity Fair. Like normal professional photographers, Alas and Piggott insisted upon using their own hair and makeup people. Simpson, however, refused to let anyone other than Paves touch her precious blonde locks. Alas and Piggott considered Paves "tacky" and "amatuerish," and refused to work with him.
Naturally, Jessica took this all very personally and refused to do the shoot for Vanity Fair. At the time, it probably seemed like small potatoes. But the stubborn, prima donna move ended up costing her a shot at becoming the face of Miu Miu.
I guess what's true in life is true in the world of fashion: what goes around comes around.
