Lindsay Lohan’s critically-slammed collaboration with Ungaro put Kanye West off creating a fashion line.

The rapper described the designing efforts of the troubled actress - whose Spring/Summer 2010 collection for the French fashion house was heavily criticized - as “9/11 for celebrities doing fashion,” as it made him realize he wasn’t capable of creating a line himself.

“Did you not see the Lindsay and Ungaro collection? That was 9/11 for celebrities doing fashion. After that I thought, ‘Well I can’t do a line now.’ There are so many ups and downs, hurts and pains in fashion. It’s extremely frustrating, because I do have opinions on color palettes and fabrics, but do I have the time to pick out every belt buckle?”

The hip-hop star revealed meeting Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld in Paris made him realize the only way he could make a fashion collection work would be if he were closely involved with a designer.

“These women would die for Karl, they were so into perfecting that next Chanel dress, which no one else could make. I don’t have 20 years of fashion experience, and my father wasn’t a tailor able to train me. The only way it would work was if I sat next to a designer.”
