More Details About Avril Lavigne's Clothing Line at Kohl's

Now that you’ve heard the news about Avril’s clothing line debuting exclusively at Kohl’s this summer, have you wondering where the name Abbey Dawn came from?  Well, it’s her childhood nickname.  (Does anyone know the story behind that nickname? Definitely let us know if you do!)

Additionally, the clothing line will include skulls with checks and strikes as well as “a lot of hot pinks and blacks and stars and purple and zebra.”  A representative for Kohl’s described Abbey Dawn as “a rock collection with a feminine edge. I think it will broaden who we bring into our junior department.”  Avril promises that she will wear these clothes including on stage during her Best Damn Tour.

    Well, sorry for writing soo late cause I had already read your question but wasn’t able to answer in that moment.

    I don’t remember where, but I read once a question made to Avril asking if she has/had a nickname, and she answered that her father called her Abbey Dawn and she said something like “I don’t know what it is, I think it is a place” and it seems to be a place.

    I knew Avril was going to use Abbey Dawn to name somethign important related to her and HERE IT IS.

    Hope this helps.

    I was just surfing my facebook profile and realized that the “Abbey Dawn” nickname has been displayed as my Windows live ID in my profile for a long time.

    I think I read what I wrote in my last comment in a magazine scan.

    umm… i don’t know if this is true, but i heard her friends called her that nickname. So i don’t know for sure, because i don’t know much about her.

  7. How Avril Lavigne Got the Nickname Abbey Dawn

    [...] while back, we were all wondering about the origins of the name of Avril Lavinge’s clothing line, Abbey Dawn.  We know her dad came up with that nickname for her, but one of our readers, Courtney, did some [...]

    Abbey Dawn is a luxury holiday villa located in an idyllic setting on the small-gated community of The Abbey at West Haven. With unparalleled views overlooking a large conservation area, Abbey Dawn is just 12 minutes from Walt Disney World. but idk whee she got that name unless it was after this!!!

  9. April

    the name abby dawn came from the nick name avrils father gave her.

    When is the line going to be released?
    I am so excited, but is this for little girls, or teens like me? Like juniors? And will it have like Zebra skinnies, or a bit of H&M flair?
    I sure would like to see a sneek-peak at what she’s designing! XP

  11. Jaime

    I have no idea about the release date, I think it would be in July. You should check her latest performances of The Best Damn Tour, because she has been wearing her designs for Abbey Dawn. It is for teens.

    Just wanted to let you know that I am dissapointed with her clothing line. I bought 2 jackets for my daughter for Christmas. After paying $160.00 for 2 when I washed them the stitching fell apart, now neither is wearable. you waould think for the price they would be made better
