Katy Perry says she’ll launch a fashion line — in the future.

The I Kissed a Girl singer wants to be known primarily as a musician and insists she is in no rush to cash in on her fame by embarking on other business ventures.

“Sometimes you see people that have that taste of success and they try to branch out in so many different directions that you forget what’s the root of it all,” Perry told Pop Eater. “And I want people to really know me, first and foremost, as a musician.

“Maybe in the future. I see how someone like Gwen Stefani did it with L.A.M.B. and I think that’s the right way rather than trying to hawk cheap crap made in sweatshops just because my fame is fleeting or what have you.”

On young girls copying her style, Katy adds, “It’s nice to show up at my shows and then see the girls in the front row having their hair cut like mine or having the little embellishments in their hair.

“I was always a very colorful dresser from the moment I could buy my own clothes, even before then. I would always change for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I was definitely that little girl that wanted to be in a costume all the time. Why would I want to be in regular clothes?”
