Avril Lavigne, known for her pairing of frilly dresses and combat boots, will bring her style to the juniors department at Kohl's department stores.

The edgy, pop-rock star's clothing line "Abbey Dawn" was named after her childhood nickname.

"I actually am the designer," she told Newsweek for editions on newsstands Monday. "I try everything on and approve it all."

She joined a long line of celeb-turned-designers, including Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson.

Lavigne kicked off her 2008 world tour in Victoria, B.C., Canada, earlier this month.
