Lindsay Lohan has landed a top job in the fashion industry. Despite controversy from company bosses, the 23-year-old actress been named a style consultant for French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro.

Lindsay’s appointment as an advisor for the brand comes shortly after CEO Mounir Moufarrige replaced the label’s top designer, Esteban Cortazar, who was reportedly furious about having the troubled star attached to the luxury brand.

“To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand,” Lindsay said in a statement to Women’s Wear Daily on Wednesday.

For her first assignment, Lindsay will collaborate with the label’s newly-appointed chief designer Estrella Archs to put together looks for the 2010 spring/summer collection, which debut during Paris Fashion Week in the City of Lights next month.

“Twenty-first century muses are extroverts whose personal style and experience gives them a strong creative and artistic focus. Thus was our vision of combining the eye of a fashion creator with the eye of the ultimate luxury consumer, a celebrity,” says Mounir Moufarrige, President of Emanuel Ungaro worldwide, in a statement. “Mr. Ungaro’s success was based on his genius for design and his controversial eye to whom his consumer was. Lindsay is a world consumer with a clear eye for fashion.”
