When Hot Topic isn't punk rawk enough
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Fashion, Celebrity, News, Best of the Season
Department store chain Kohl's has just signed Avril Lavigne to develop a new line for Juniors called "Abbey Dawn", Women's Wear Daily reports. The line will be in stores just in time for Back-To-School (Oh thank God!!!!). The line will feature jewelry and clothing, with more products to come, and pieces will range from $24-48. WWD says we can expect "authentic rock 'n' roll attitude with a feminine edge," which is a concept SO new and different that no one else has thought of it. Ever.
Please, people. Avril has ridiculous style without professional help, and not in a cool M.I.A. way. In an Elton John way. In a Bjork-as-a-swan way. Designers need to be designers, rock stars need to be rock stars and rarely the twain shall meet.

I am one of Avril's biggest fans, and yet sometimes her fashion choices make me gag. On the other hand, sometimes I fall in love. Some of this line will be horrible, and some will amazing. We probably shouldn't judge it before it's released.

I think we are being very unfare to Avril. First off, yes, her clothes are rather "punk" and "rocker" but are we forgetting who Avril is?! She's our favorite punk princess!! She is an extremly talented artist, yes artist who expresses herself for who she is, not who the public wants her to be. And let's face it, today, most teenager's AREN'T doing that. This page laughs in her face for having a "rock" and "punk" theme but come on people, how many stores are copies of American Eagle and Hollister?! I think it's great Avril wants to put a twist on things and get teams out of these "uniformed clothes" and into something that expresses them for who they are! Go Avril! I can't wait to see your stuff---I LOVE YOU!!

I agree that some of the fashions could be a little off the edge, but Avril really does have a style that truly is new and different with some spunk!
Would you rather be seeing your teens in long, black trench coats or something by Avril Lavigne?
