is a big girl now but her childhood was so happy she just cannot forget about it. So, when the remake of the iconic film Alice in Wonderland was being shot she decided to take an active part in the process.

First of all she offered Mr Burton to write a song for the movie and she finally did that. When the song was ready Avril didn’t feel satisfied. She made up her mind to design a clothing line inspired by the story. And now the singer-turned designer has launched her junior Alice in Wonderland collection as a part of Abbey Dawn line.

Speaking about the new range Avril said:

I went through binders of images from the film to get inspiration for the clothing. We ended up using a lot of the floral prints, which were the flowers with the faces, and the verbiage like ‘Shrink me.’ It was kind of like anything and everything. My favourite is the white T-shirt with the rabbit stopwatch on it because it’s the iconic stopwatch.”

As we can see at the pics the collection is rather diverse and includes pieces in black and bright pink. The T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, dresses and other items in the line are rather affordable, they all come under $50.avril lavigne alice in wonderland collection

Avril felt very excited at the launch party. She said:

I am a huge fan of the Alice in Wonderland story and am beyond thrilled that Disney has joined this venture with Abbey Dawn to celebrate the launch of Mr. Burton’s film. Kohl’s is a great partner for my brand, and together we look forward to bringing this limited-edition product to our customers.”

When I was a little girl I read Alice in Wonderland story and understood almost nothing of the things the author had wanted to tell in it. Then I grew up and reread the book and perceived it in a quite different way. Now in times of 3D technologies I’ve got one more chance to think over the message Lewis Carroll had sent to his readers.

The film that premiered yesterday (February 25) in London would certainly become a hit. Both kids and adults will watch it with pleasure, expecially taking into consideration the cast.

Gorgeous played the role of the White Queen. On the red carpet at the premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square the actress looked stunning. Her face was pale white (Not like in the movie, of course, but still very pale.) and played a great contrast with her dark brown hair, bright makeup and a brown sparkly dress created by .

It was raining and Anne had to sashay along the red carpet in her beautiful strapless dress. She tried to show the rain was nothing to her and even said she ‘loved’ it.

There was another girl who looked as perfect at the event – . She attended the premiere because her song Alice plays over the movie’s end crdits. Her long black dress and a dazzling diamond necklace looked fabulous on her.

I hope to find time soon to watch the film and see how the story written so many years ago can be presented in modern time. Tell me about your impresions, too.

keeps on working on her own clothing line called Abbey Dawn. As you might know she launched the first collection in July 2008 and received rather warm reactions. It looked cool and girlie and what is more important, it was affordable.

Now it’s 2010 and Avril is still working, that’s good. In September last year the Canadian singer presented her line at . The collection was received well, though there were a few negative responses too.

Fashion journalists criticized the range by saying it was not new, not special or surprising. But Avril doesn’t listen to those offensive remarks. She knows that there can never be only success and love. Everyone goes through difficulties to get what he wants.

Avril likes her collection and is happy to talk about it.

She says:

[There’s a] lot of hot pinks and blacks and stars and purple and zebra. Basically, everything I wear. I have a very particular style. I want it to be available to a lot of girls, and I want it to be affordable. What’s really important to me is that everything fits well and is well-made, so I try everything on and approve it all. The hoodies are slimming. It’s not a thick, bulky material.”

Kelly has been working on her weight hard and as a result she’s lost a stone.

She’s been exercising on the regular basis and reducing the amount of junk food in her diet. That’s why she laughed heartily when someone offered her fast food to try during the shoot.

She denies taking drugs to lose excess pounds like some other famous people do.

is designing clothes. Is it true? Sexy model is gossiped to have her own clothing line. She reportedly inked a deal with 284, which is a new line from the Sao Paolo-based retailer Daslu.

Naomi Campbell

Her new collection will be for strong women. Do they mean strong women who prefer to throw their BlackBerries at people? Or does she mean another kind of strength…

Supermodel has been so successful with her Topshop line. Let’s say good luck to Naomi!

said she’d like to create her own clothing line too! She has already entered the design game, recently made a collection of T-shirts for U.S. retailer Wet Seal.

Ashlee Simpson

Fashion is always something that’s fun for me,” Simpson said in an interview Saturday.

In the near future, I’ll be designing my own clothes as well, so I’m looking forward to that.”

Simpson said she has her own unique style but confesses to being an admirer of Deborah Harry’s look.

She was definitely sexy but wasn’t trying to be and I loved that,” Simpson said of the Blondie singer.

Ashlee enjoys knitting but says there aren’t any immediate plans to skill any baby booties for her new roll of joy when he or she arrives in late fall.

I really like to do it (knitting) but I always kind of have a hole in it. I don’t have anything made yet for my baby but maybe I will.”

Simpson still has fashion on the front burner as she takes on the role as the face of a Canadian clothing line, she is the spokeswoman for the relaunched Request line, an affordable apparel brand comprising casual and dressy separates.

Canadian punk rock star also launches Abbey Dawn Clothing Line: “It’s Absolutely My Wardrobe,” she said.

Avril Lavigne

The collection consists of skirts, hoodies, skinny jeans, and T-shirts and features a lot of stars, skulls, zebra print and checkers, according to Avril. She also plans to add sunglasses and handbags to the collection, which is available in stores now.

Every eight weeks I have new pieces coming into the store,” told MTV News. “So we’re designing like crazy — like, tons of stuff — and it’s so much fun.”

It was a great opportunity for me to do this, and now that I’m older and more into fashion and stuff, I’ve put together a cute little line. It’s totally my style and everything I would wear. It’s absolutely my wardrobe.”

My dad gave me the nickname Abbey Dawn when I was a little girl,” she said. “It was a street he saw. And all my friends in high school called me Abbey. I always really liked the name. I didn’t know if maybe I would name my girl Abbey if I had a girl one day, or a song name. So I had a clothing line first, so I named it Abbey Dawn.”

The singer’s very pleased to ultimately see her outfits on fans and doesn’t even mind when they come to her concerts in the same thing she’s dressing.

I’ve seen some of the fans at my shows wearing my shirts, and sometimes I’ve been onstage wearing [one of the shirts],” she said, “and they have the same one on, and I’m like, ‘Hey, nice shirt,’ and I get really excited.

[I'm looking forward to] seeing people walk around with it,” she added. “It will be really cool.”
