AceShowbiz - Britney Spears is expanding her brand by launching a collection of fashion and lifestyle merchandise. The "Stronger" hitmaker has teamed up with brand management company Epic Rights to create the Britney Spears Lifestyle branded merchandise line, which is expected to launch in spring 2019 and include fashion pieces, accessories, exercise clothing, electronics and hair care products.

"I am excited to collaborate with Epic Rights to create a new contemporary lifestyle collection," she said in a statement.
