so many critics here. I even can't say something after that. I know nothing about fashion and what is "cool" or what isn't. But making arguments refering to wrinkles. is a little not fair to me. it's about how items were presented, not how they really look. they really were not presented good. if you were looking with more attention, you should notice the identical items differing only in colors, have identical wrinkles, so much identical, it's just impossible without photoshop. all those strange spots and dirty look at edges - are effects of the poor presentation having been done. someone did quick job on computer not bothering about really photographing the items and not bothering with how it would look. but again this is not about clothes! after all, some of you were criticising not only wrinkles, but design too. but this is not the main thing what i wanted to emphasize on. the main thing is whether this active critical reception is so needed? if you are not very excited, wouldn't it be more nice from your side to just say nothing. why so? if i understand right, she is getting to return to her normal state of activity, not only health-wise, with her musical activity and overall. it's kind of the state that needs support and patience. here, she tries to reactivate her fashion activity. it's just a couple of tees. it would be quite possible to not fall into blaming wrinkles on photos, to not use words like "hideous" etc. I constantly am thinking such a reaction is hurting. not necessarily. but well, I suck at english, and I can't express as it is, I feel my writings look not any better than your critics, so I'll stop with this. (yeah, I can annoy people). And being on topic - I liked hoodies and that cupcake dress. but i am a male so I would like to see the latter on female not on me. If it makes you feel better, Avril doesn't actually design Abbey Dawn all by herself. There's an old interview out there where she explained what she does. Basically she throws out ideas to a bunch of designers, who then turn her ideas into clothes. I assume this process hasn't changed, so it's not like Avril is really responsible for any of this. Someone already pointed out that AD is obviously operating on a lower budget these days, so maybe they just can't afford good designers. Nevertheless, a clothes iron doesn't cost a lot of money. welp, same as her music

Thank God I found this thread because I was thinking that I was the only one who saw this collection really really poor both in terms of design and in terms of quality. In Instagram seemed that 90 % of the fans were eager to spend their money on this.
Honestly, I wouldn't wear that and I bet Avril knows that these new items aren't the best she has put on the market.

I feel like with this collection, we have to look at it separate from her previous ones. She's probably not able to fund whoever was distributing/designing/collaborating with her previously. If I remember correctly, she was just about to get distributed with Iron Fist (she was even working with their designers) after having a distributing deal with hottopic. Everything now is probably funded by her. It's made on the same site her other merch is made on. So it's not fair to compare this collection with her previous ones IMO...
I bought a few shirts and a tank and a jacket recently c: they're all comfy and soft !

It's not exactly my taste, but these designs still look much more interesting and inspired than the last ones. And this picture is really good too. Looking forward to seeing the rest of this collection (I guess there will be more stuff; it wouldn't make sense to have only 4 shirts be an entire collection.)

These are really cute tbh. I prefer this bunch over the last collection! I would love to see more shoes, +! bracelets etc. And hopefully she'll promote them and take lots of pics in them so we'll have new pictures lol.

I like the vampire t-shirt. I wonder if this collection release is tied to a music release. I mean, if she's going on interviews she'll be talking about lyme, music, divorce , foundation and, of course, abbey dawn. Perhaps she will release a new fragrance, I feel like Black Star was really good business for her $$$

It looks like more of the same to me. Cartoonish designs. The pic of her and the lips tee are kind of cool I guess but I wish they'd come out with other clothes besides graphic tees.

I like things that I can wear for work, since that's where I am most of the time. I have a couple AD button down shirts I wear sometimes for work. But yeah I can't wear graphic tees for work. Plus I think they are generally too overpriced for what they are, by the time you add shipping you are playing over $30, nearly $40 for a T shirt.
