The singer recently launched her own range of clothes for High Street chain New Look.

Asked about supermodel Kate Moss’s rival collection for Top Shop, Lily said: "I don’t think I’d fit in them. All my dresses are super-girlie but that doesn’t mean you have to be a size zero. The more curves the better. Fashion is for everyone, not just super-skinny models."

The singer is currently in the US to play a series of gigs.

She titled her blog "fat, ugly and sh**er than Winehouse" - a reference to Amy Winehouse, who is also trying to break America and has been feted by music critics there.

Lily: It’s sad to queue - May 11 2007
Lily Allen has apparently told fans that it would be "sad and stupid" to queue for hours to buy her new clothing range for New Look.

The feisty songstress said it wouldn’t be worth the effort - because her line of dresses and trainers will never sell out.

She told the Daily Star: I hope no-one was sad enough to queue up for it. Queuing for hours and hours is stupid. It could be avoided if fashion companies didn’t hype everything so much.

"We all know that if the shop runs out of stock they’ll order more, so what’s the point of queueing? It’s part of the whole lie.

"I don’t think we will sell out of my clothes. I’m not Kate Moss."

It seems the mouthy singer does have a point - when her Lily Loves line launched earlier this week at new Look’s flagship store on Oxford Street only handful of shoppers attended.

The Kate Moss collection at rival chain Topshop - drew around 1,000 fans when it launched in London last week.

No shopper scrum for Lily’s range - May 9 2007
Lily Allen’s fashion range has hit stores - minus the hype which surrounded the Kate Moss launch.

A handful of shoppers were outnumbered by media outside New Look’s flagship Oxford Street store before the 10am opening.

But the high street chain insisted it had not expected a "scrum" of fans because the singer’s designs debut in 312 stores today.

The Kate Moss collection at rival chain Topshop - which drew around 1,000 fans when it launched in London last week - launches in New York today.

Lily’s range is markedly smaller than the supermodel’s at just six dresses plus footwear and jewellery.

After doors opened at New Look on Oxford Street, shoppers seemed impressed with the range.

Gemma Cartwright, 23, a writer for fashion blog Catwalkqueen, said: "I am actually pleasantly surprised by it all. We were at the Kate Moss launch and I think this is much better in terms of price and quality."

Michelle Stephens, 36, from Streatham, south London, waited outside the store for five minutes after visiting nearby Primark.

She spent £276 on an armful of dresses, saying: "I’ve got two daughters and they love Lily Allen. I’ve bought two of everything and a pair of trainers. I think it’s really nice. The Kate Moss stuff, a lot of it was really poor quality, but I think this is lovely."
