ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR AND A STYLE ICON

Liam Gallagher launched his fashion label for 'lads on the street' in 2009

- 

LIAM Gallagher had long been a style icon before he launched his own clothing range. He made the parka the coat of choice for many.

Pretty Green was founded by the younger Gallagher, named after a song by The Jam, and was introduced shortly before Oasis ended it all in 2009.

He admitted: "The reason I'm doing it is I like clothes. We're going to do clothes I like, if people like it, cool, if they don't, they don't. It's not going to be cheap... I don't like the skinny look."

The classic T-shirt with the Pretty Green paisley logo soon became a staple for the masses:

"We're not like all them fashion designers. These are just for lads on the street."

He added: "I don't like thick T-shirts that are super fine. So I was involved with that, manufacturers were bringing T-shirts that were like tour T-shirts, I'm thinking I'm not having that... big thick T-shirts, nah.

"So I'm into it, the clothes man. If it don't fit right, or feel right on me, it's going back."
