Lily launches fashion range - May 8 2007
Pop star Lily Allen follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss and Madonna as she unveils her fashion range today.

Dresses, jewellery and footwear designed by the outspoken singer will be on sale at New Look stores across the UK.

The 21-year-old is known for her "chavvy chic" style which often pairs long prom-style dresses and ballgowns with trainers.

Her "Lily Loves" collection features dresses in sizes six to 18, high-heeled shoes, patterned trainers and flowery jewellery.

Lily said she looked at the 300 dresses in her wardrobe for inspiration and wanted something more than the "usual pretty flower style".

She described the results as a summer collection of "super-girly" clothes for women of all sizes.

"You know how I feel about fashion: it’s for everyone, not just a load of super-skinny models," she said.

The launch at 312 stores follows the shopping frenzy sparked by the Kate Moss collection debut at rival fashion chain Topshop.

More than 1,000 shoppers queued outside Topshop’s flagship Oxford Street store to get first pick of the supermodel’s designs last week.

Prices for Lily’s clothes and accessories range from £5 for a flower ring to £55 for a "fox trot ruffle" dress.

The singer - who is the daughter of actor Keith Allen - recently postponed the next leg of her US tour following reports she was too exhausted to continue.

Lily wants to ’make Posh smile’ - April 27 2007
Lily Allen has started up a new war of words, it seems - this time with Victoria Beckham.

The songstress told the Daily Star: "She never ever smiles. It’s always the same expression with her lips stuck as far out as she can push them.

"I’m going to put Vaseline on them to make her smile next time there’s a camera around. Then we can find out whatever it is she’s hiding in her mouth."

The 21-year-old singer added that she thinks Posh and Coleen McLoughlin are "horrendous" for paying so much attention to how they look.

"We’ve had it shoved in our faces, and because of these reality TV shows, we’ve seen how it all works behind the scenes.

"But rather than think, ’She must be cool because she’s in a magazine’, we don’t buy into it."

A source said: "Lily is determined to get a rise out of Victoria. But she’s almost half Victoria’s age and Victoria doesn’t want to stoop to arguing with a child. However, Lily’s mischievous and won’t give up."

Biography

As the daughter of Britpop icon Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, Lily Allen (born May 2 1985) was destined to be famous. Born in Hammersmith, London, she moved around a lot as a child, living in Ireland’s Co Kildare before eventually settling in Islington.

With early dreams of pop stardom Lily was signed to Warner Bros in 2002 thanks, in no small part, to her father. However the partnership was short lived and in 2005 she signed to the lesser known Regal. Despite reported pressure to release pop songs she instead decided to release her tracks for free download on MySpace.com. It was through the website that she found fame, becoming a true internet star before even releasing a single. The buzz created though resulted in a rush release of LDN on limited edition 7" in early 2005.

In 2006 Lily released her debut album Alright, Still to critical and public acclaim, reaching number 2 in the UK charts. She also released Smile, the track which finally launched her in to the public’s conciousness. This was followed by a full re-release of LDN.
