Lindsay was unveiled as the company’s new model last autumn, but Jill Stuart
has now decided to go for an “older” star following Lindsay’s troubled year
which included her getting arrested, hospitalized and entering rehab.
A source close to the New York designer said: “Jill wanted to go for a
celebrity to make her fashion line more high profile. But after everything
Lindsay has been through over the last year, she doesn’t feel it would be
right for her to represent the line.
“She thinks Hilary Swank would be the ideal choice because she is that
little bit older, and incredibly well respected in the acting industry.”
