Britney Spears to Release Her Own Clothing Line

`I have known Britney for a long time - she is a good friend of mine. We`re talking about working together,` Christian Audigier said.

The 'Toxic' singer met with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier in Culver City, California, on Thursday (03.04.08) to discuss a fashion range. Audigier told America's Star magazine: "I have known Britney for a long time - she is a good friend of mine. We're talking about working together,
designing a line of clothing."

During the meeting, Britney and her mother Lynne picked out some Ed Hardy clothes to take home and happily chatted to staff in the office. Marissa McMillion, who works for Ed Hardy, revealed: "She was really nice to everyone in the office. Her mom was with her and Britney asked us to send
some clothes to her sister Jamie Lynn for her birthday.

"Britney's favourite piece was a leopard hoodie and she loved the sunglasses - she put them on
immediately. But most of all she was a fan of Christian Audigier's own line."

If the deal goes ahead, Britney, 26, would be the latest in a long line of celebrities to release a clothes range. Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rachel Bilson and Kate Moss have also launched their own fashion line.
