Liam Gallagher On Pretty Green

Liam Gallagher claims the design philosophy of his Pretty Green fashion line sets him apart from the rest of the fashion industry.

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

Founded in 2009 by Gallagher, Pretty Green comprises jeans, knitwear, Parkas and footwear.

The star disputed claims that money is his motive for designing the laid-back menswear range."I don't like to talk about money - it's vulgar," he told the Sunday Times Magazine. "Even if it didn't make a lot of money, I'd still do it."

Although he doesn't mind signing autographs and having pictures taken with fans, Gallagher prefers to go shopping first thing in the morning when it's not too crowded. When asked if he like the shops to be open only for him, the musician replied; "I find that ridiculous, all that shit. Listen, I don't mind shopping with the public - I am the public."

Liam Gallagher Idolised John Lennon After His Death

Liam Gallagher's obsession with John Lennon took hold after the Beatles legend died - he was mesmerised by poignant images of the singer during TV tributes.

The former Oasis frontman modelled himself on the musician from the early days of his career, styling his vocals and dress sense on the star.

But now he's confessed he only began idolising Lennon after his death in 1980 - when he saw the promo for Imagine during a news report into the Beatle's assassination.

Gallagher tells Britain's Sunday Times, "I was eight and I remember coming downstairs and seeing Imagine on the telly, which was pretty haunting. I like Lennon's voice. It's all about his voice, I don't care whether he was into peace, or into Yoko, I don't care how big his k**b was or whether he had one ball or f**king three balls, I just like his voice.

"It moves me, makes me sad, makes me happy, makes me angry, makes me whatever."

Liam Gallagher: 'Beady Eye Will Be Bigger Than Oasis'

Singer also slams Noel...

Liam Gallagher has claimed that his new band Beady Eye will be bigger than Oasis.

The group, which consists of Oasis’ former line-up minus his brother Noel, were three-quarters of the way through recording their debut album.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Gallagher said Beady Eye sounded “similar” to Oasis, but also like T-Rex and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Asked if they would be bigger than his former band, he replied: “It’ll be bigger.

“I’ve got no doubt about the music, no doubt about me. I’ve never sounded better. It’s proper rock’n’roll.

“Oasis was a pop band compared to what we’re doing.”

Gallagher also hit out at Noel, saying he no longer spoke to his brother, who Oasis after a row in France in August 2009.

“Don’t want to either,” he said.

“It’s done and dusted. He’s living his life, I’m living mine. I hope he’s happy in what he does and I’m happy in what I do.”

Beady Eye are due to release their debut single at the end of this year.

Pretty Green Opens Temporary Store

On 30th July 2010 Pretty Green will open a Temporary store on Carnaby Street. The store will be selling a selection of exclusive one off Pretty Green pieces as well as the Green Label and Black Label Spring Summer 2010 collections.

Pretty Green draws its inspiration from the art, music and culture scene of the 1960’s, so Carnaby Street was the perfect street to open the temporary store, due to its rich style, musical heritage and iconic status. Pretty Green is renowned for the attention to detail with an emphasis on quality fabrics, cut and classic tailoring. Demand for the SS10 collection has meant the collection sold out in several key stockists.

The 2000sq ft store will and will be housed over two storeys with the basement area featuring a panoramic image of Liam on Brighton beach and a Lambretta Li 150 series 3 replica scooter. The store will be bright and airy with custom fit shelving throughout. Green label and Black label SS10 pieces available to buy as well as exclusive one off pieces.

Ever since the swinging 60’s Carnaby has been at the heart of the London fashion scene, and today it is one of the worlds coolest shopping destinations, offering independent boutiques, global fashion brands, unique stores, award winning restaurants and hip nightlife. It’s the place to go for style hunters in search of something different.

2010 marks the 50th anniversary since Carnaby became the epicentre for swinging London, and continues to be synonymous with cutting edge fashion, music and youth culture.

Pretty Green Temporary will be open at 11.00am, Friday 30th July -57 Carnaby Street, London.

Liam Gallagher Quits Hard-Living

Rock wildman Liam Gallagher has quit his hard-living ways and become Mr Boring.

The ex-hellraiser claims he is now a pipe-and-slippers man and he has not even hit 40yet.

The Oasis singer is renowned for boozing and smoking, flashing V-signs, bar brawls and foul language.

But now he has told top celebrity interviewer Lynn Barber that he enjoys domestic bliss with wife Nicole Appleton, 35, and his son Gene, nine.

Lynn said: “He jogs every morning, takes the children to school, goes to parents’ meetings and phones his mum every day.”

Liam also drinks tea and is a fan of daytime TV, including The Jeremy Kyle Show and Noel Edmonds’ cheesy game show Deal Or No Deal.

The revelations of Liam’s comfy lifestyle have come as a shock to his army of fans.

Milkman Mark Waghorn, 40, who has an Oasis tattoo on his right forearm, said: “I should get my tattoo removed. This is not the behaviour I expect of a rock idol.”

Liam, 37, said at the height of his success in the 90s: “Rock stars exercising? I don’t think it’s right. You either got it or you ain’t.

“I drink too much but you won’t catch me doing sit-ups or jogging.

“You see pictures of Bono running around LA with his little white legs and a bottle of Volvic and he looks like a fanny.”

But now Liam jogs five miles a day, and the drone of his treadmill at his London home even sparked complaints from neighbours.

He said he realised he had to change after doing too many “big fat lines … and staying up late talking the same sh** you talked the night before and the night before that”.

He added: “I had to have a serious word with myself. I thought: ‘I’m going to have to tone it down a bit.’”
