Never did I think I’d say this, but Lindsay Lohan may actually have done something right. Though she’s not exactly known as the most professional actress in Hollywood, Lohan might actually turn out to be a good businesswoman. And possibly a good designer, depending on how hands-on she is with her new leggings line. Lohan’s pricey collection is selling incredibly well, surprising both fashionistas who say that leggings are over and regular folk who say they’re overpriced.

Lindsay Lohan’s got a leg up on the competition when it comes to her fashion line. While some style mags have heralded the end of the leggings trend, the “Mean Girls” star is trotting her 6126 footless tights all over the world. And she’s apparently doing something right. Despite a very hefty price tag in tough economic times, Lohan’s debut legwear line is selling like hotcakes, retailers tell the Daily News.

“They’re blowing off the shelves,” says Jill Lowe, publicist for high-end Hollywood boutique Intuition. The Marilyn Monroe-inspired leggings – which cost anywhere from $44 to $132 – are also flying out the doors at Henri Bendel, Nordstrom, Intermix and Lisa Kline. Across the board, stores say, Lohan’s best-seller is her Mr. President leggings – the most expensive and unique-looking option. Black with grey knee patches, the $132 tights are a big hit from coast to coast.

Many items from Lohan’s line are firmly in the $75 and up price point, with several costing more than $100; By comparison, popular legwear brands Danskin and Hue offer cotton/spandex leggings for a mere $25. “The leggings are made of top quality materials,” says 6126 publicist Ali Brubaker. “Many have accents like 100 percent leather patches and 100 cashmere leggings which also contribute to the price range.”

Lohan’s leggings come in 35 styles. I never knew there were 35 different things you could do with leggings, but I’ll take their word for it. They’re also dry clean only, which adds to the cost significantly. Lindsay is planning on rolling out four collections a year – one per season. The long-term plan for 6126 is to eventually add more products to expand the line beyond leggings. Which seems like a good idea – I highly doubt leggings are going to be as popular as they currently are for much longer.

It’s always hard to know just how much a role celebrities have in designing their products. I really doubt Lohan is at home sketching crocodile patch leggings all night long. But I’m guessing she does more than just throw some ideas out there and walk away. 6126 is obviously at the top of the line in terms of creativity and quality, and if Lohan has anything to do with that then good for her.
