London, Feb 24 (IANS) Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan finds designing clothes 'therapeutic'.

The 'Mean Girls' actress, who has her own fashion line, loves creating outfits as it gives her the opportunity to express herself.

'Fashion is something that's so expressive in so many ways - within film, within music, within daily life. It expresses how you feel that day and the character you're playing. I really appreciate and respect it. It's something that's not only a hobby of mine, but it makes me feel good. It's really therapeutic for me, actually - the designs', femalefirst.co.uk quoted Lohan saying.

Lohan was forced to deny rumours of being blacklisted from New York Fashion Week and suffered the embarrassment of her designs for fashion house Emanuel Ungaro getting panned by critics.

'I'm the first to say that in certain situations my name will cheapen things because that's what people have made of it,' she added.
