Avril Lavigne's clothing range is heavily influenced by British music.

The Canadian singer's Abbey Dawn line is inspired by some of her favourite 70s punk bands, such as the Sex Pistols and believes her influences are clear to see in her designs.

"Sexy and rock 'n' roll, that's my style. Messy hair, black eyes, fishnets. And you see this in my clothing collection through the colors and the styles. A lot of my designs are inspired by British music. I'm a big Sex Pistols fan and I love the old-school rocker grunge look, so a lot of my pieces feature red plaid and skulls."

The name of Avril's clothing line comes from an old nickname and alias she used to check into hotels without being spotted: "It's called that because I'm Abbey Dawn. It was my nickname when I was growing up and it was the first alias I used when I didn't want people to know which hotel I was in."
