MUSIC NEWS - Brit rocker Liam Gallagher today announced plans to start his own line of clothing called Pretty Green in June. The line's name comes is from a song by The Jam. The UK's Daily Telegraph said Gallagher's range of clothing described as "up-front, straight talking, classic" footwear, denim, knitwear, jackets, trench coats, parkas, T-shirts, hats, scarves and accessories will be sold online and through third-party outlets.
"Clothes and music are my passion. I'm not here to rip anyone off and I'm not doing it for the money either. I'm doing it (because) there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear," Gallagher said in a statement. Gallagher joins rocker, Chris Weiland and his recently announced Weiland for English Laundry line in the musicican/clothes field. We look forward to Mr Gallagher's Pretty Green offerings . Check out Liam's comments on the new line in the video below-
UPDATE 6/04/09-
LIAM GALLAGHER's new clothing line was put on sale and proved to be so popular the website crashed within seconds of launching. Liam debuted his Pretty Green label; which includes trousers, hats, cagoules and T-shirts, online today, Thursday (June 4, 2009). But public demand was too much for the site and more than 100,000 fans jammed it within moments of its launch, causing online chaos. A spokesperson for Pretty Green apologized for the problems: "We carried out extensive research and had advanced superior systems in place to manage over 30 times what you would expect for the launch of a brand like this. "We have engaged the best technology providers in the UK, but obviously even the most robust system couldn’t deal with this level of demand." Gallagher himself has admited he has already been dealing with the high demand for his designs, from his Oasis bandmates. But insists his pals will have to log on to the website like the rest of the public, as he won't be giving them any clothes for free. He said, "... no freebies. In this credit crunch time, they will be buying it like everybody else."
Such a cool name of the clothing line. looks very interesting, keep it up!
