6126 was a fashion label launched by American actress Lindsay Lohan in partnership with Kristi Kaylor. Originally specializing in leggings, the brand eventually broadened its offerings to encompass a complete apparel range. The name pays homage to Marilyn Monroe’s birthdate, June 1, 1926, symbolizing Lohan’s respect for the legendary figure. The brand is no longer active.
By early 2010, Kaylor revealed that the leggings segment alone had generated $3 million in yearly revenue since the brand’s inception in 2008.
Fashion
The line debuted in 2008 featuring several styles of leggings such as Fame, Lust, and Star. Lohan played a hands-on role in the creative process, overseeing fabric choices, trims, and approving all product and promotional elements.
All profits from the Fame leggings were donated by 6126 to Save the Children to support relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
In May 2010, 6126 extended its product range beyond leggings to include items like dresses, leather jackets, blazers, coats, mini and pencil skirts, blouses, and corsets. Additionally, the brand announced plans to introduce handbags, footwear, and cosmetics for the Spring 2011 collection.
Retail
The 6126 line was retailed through stores such as Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Dash. The leggings first became available on July 10, 2008, at Fred Segal and could also be purchased online via the Intuition website.
Controversy
Photographer Scott Nathan filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group—Lohan’s record label—for using his photograph without permission on the cover of her single "Bossy". He also took legal action against the parent company of 6126 after being promised a 1% ownership stake in the clothing line in exchange for photographing Lohan wearing the leggings. Although a settlement was reached between the parties, Nathan later asserted that he had not received the agreed-upon compensation.
