Avril Lavigne OK! Magazine Interview July 2008
July 30, 2008 by Colleen
Avril Lavigne gave an interview with OK! magazine about her new clothing line, Abbey Dawn, her canceled shows on the Best Damn Tour, rumors of partying, that rumor of brunette-only back-up singers, and much more. Here’s the Q&A portion:
There are hordes of fans lined up around the building today to meet you and see your new clothing line. That has to feel nice.
It kind of feels like my birthday or something. It’s a whole new experience for me — to have a crowd of people and it not really having anything to do with my music.How involved with the design were you?
I am the designer and the concept obviously came from me. As far as designing goes, I just sat down and told everyone what I love and what I don’t like, and basically the clothes are everything that I would wear.Was it important for you to keep prices down on the items in your line?
It’s definitely important. The clothes that I wear are affordable. I don’t really wear that many high-end stuff, so pretty much everything is from $24-$48 so it’s really affordable for young people.Where did the name Abbey Dawn come from?
That was nickname from my dad when I was a little girl. It was my alias name when I first started my musical career. I used to think maybe I’ll have a girl and call her Abbey one day, but I had a clothing line first.Speaking of which: Are you planning on having children someday?
Oh God! I don’t want to have kids for like 10 years. I still have a lot to do. I don’t even know if I could handle a dog right now. I’m so not ready. Someday I’ll be a mom but not until I’m in my 30s.
