Lindsay Lohan’s clothing label, 6126, has been awarded $150,000 to settle a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles with a former fashion partner over royalties, according to court papers obtained on May 22.
Lohan claimed D.N.A.M. Apparel Industries owed her $1.1 million for overseas licensing of her 6126 Collection line of leggings and other items.
The Commerce company countersued for $5.5 million, claiming the Mean Girls star breached their contract due to legal problems.
The settlement ends both lawsuits, according to an order signed May 19 by U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin.
D.N.A.M. claimed that its first collection with Lohan was well received in early 2010, before the actress went to jail and rehab.
After Lohan’s bad press began to mount, the 6126 brand “quickly began to lose its luster,” causing department stores to take a “wait and see” attitude to the fall 2010 collection, according to the countersuit.
Lohan, 27, argued that it was actually D.N.A.M.’s stewardship of 6126 that hurt the brand’s value.
The actress named the clothing line after the June 1, 1926, birth date of Marilyn Monroe, whom the actress has said she admires. The brand was founded in 2008 to market leggings, before expanding to a full clothing collection.
