NEW YORK – Pop star Avril Lavigne, the designer, is making big plans for her wedding dress when she marries rocker Chad Kroeger. “Either it’s something I’m going to design, or partner up with, collaborate with another designer,” she told reporters Monday after presenting the spring collection of her Abbey Dawn clothing line at New York’s Fashion Week.
Of the Nickelback frontman’s proposal after a whirlwind romance, Lavigne said: “It was really natural, and we met in the studio and were friends for a while, and one of our last days in the studio was when he proposed, and it was super romantic and it had a lot of meaning behind it.” Lavigne, 27, was mum on the subject of her ex, Brody Jenner. She had one of his sisters, 15-year-old Kylie Jenner, to open and close her downtown runway show.
Lavigne debuted Abbey Road in 2008 and also sells signature perfumes. Her rocked-out clothes for spring include human skeletons in black on the front of stretchy striped dresses and in white on others.
