The incomparable Britney Spears dished a little bit on her newest offerings for her Candie’s clothing line, available only at Kohl’s, in an interview with InStyle . After spending three years as the face of Candie’s , Britney Spears has stepped into a new role: designer. She’s co-created her own line, Britney For Candie’s. “I love the black trench coat,” Britney said. “You can wear it over your outfit or as a dress. There’s also an amazing studded skirt that’s perfect for going out.” “I wanted to make the clothes cool and edgy yet girly,” she added . “I also love jeans, so I had to make sure there were some great pairs in the collection.” Britney Spears is all smiles (for once) at a Candie’s photo shoot . Of the design process, she says she met with the designers first, and “we sketched the items together. I loved it when I saw the samples for the first time.” The pop icon also said that because her “personal style is mix of comfortable and flirty, I love cute little dresses but I also love comfy sweaters and jeans.” You know there are no bras in the collection. Just saying. It’s great to see our girl taking on a bigger role in the clothing line that bears her name.
