Lindsay Lohan has sued
her former collaborators on a
clothing line, seeking more than $
1.1m and renewed control of the
brand's trademarks.
The lawsuit claims a clothing
manufacturer who previously
worked with Lohan, continues to sell
items under the actress' 6126
Collection, which started out as a
legging brand and had ambitions to
expand into other clothing items.
The breach of contract, fraud and
trademark infringement lawsuit
filed in a Los Angeles federal court
seeks royalties and other payments
from D.N.A.M Apparel Industries LLC.
The suit claims D.N.A.M. has failed to
pay Lohan more than $1m in
royalties and has not abided by an
agreement to seek the star's input
on merchandise.

D.N.A.M. also agreed to promote and
expand the 6126 brand into
swimwear, cosmetics and other
apparel and open a showroom in
New York, according to the lawsuit.
The case asks a judge to order the
company to stop using the 6126
name and trademarks. Lohan named
the clothing line after the 1 June
1926 birthdate of her idol, Marilyn
Monroe.
Attempts to reach the company for
comment were unsuccessful.
Previous lawsuits
"Lindsay's very passionate about her
apparel line and about designing,"
her attorney Perry Wander said. "The
purpose of this suit is to wrest
control of her trademark away from
this company that's been selling
items overseas and online under the
6126 trademark."
He said Lohan is looking forward to
designing a new line and will
negotiate with a new company to
license her trademarks.
The actress, who faces possible jail
time over charges she lied to police
about a car crash, briefly appeared in
a criminal court on Wednesday.
She has sued several times over
alleged misuse of her name and
image, including a lawsuit she
settled in 2010 against E-Trade over
a Super Bowl ad that featured babies
talking about a "milkaholic" named
Lindsay.
