Kylie Minogue has revealed that she wanted to become a fashion designer.

The pop songstress initially found fame as an actress on Australian soap Neighbours in the mid 1980s before becoming an international music star.

However, she told website Very that at one point in her life, neither of those career routes were in her mind when growing up. The 'Timebomb' singer said:

"My Grandma taught me how to sew when I was young and I learnt to pattern cut and all of that. There was a time I would have loved to be a fashion designer but performing won in the end."

Minogue was also asked about how she manages to keep her image sharp and eye-catching, with collaboration the key ingredient. She replied:

"Teamwork! From the very beginning, working in television, I was part of a team. Everyone has their job to do and the show doesn't happen without every part of the machine working in harmony. I guess I carried this through with me and to this day I appreciate all the work my team do to help me shine."
