I guess it's time I - even though obviously being a girl and this being a men's brand - give my humble opinion on Liam Gallagher's clothing line "Pretty Green". Old news that musicians give their try on designing clothes for their own label. Speaking JLo or our all time favourite range of American rappers. But I've been liking Liam Gallagher's sense of style for a long time now, disregarding the classic Umbro training suits from the mid-nineties for a moment. Frankly, Liam has developed an impaccable sense of style in the last decade, with a range from military-inspired jackets to anything slightly Mod, making us remember classic green parkas and the good old trench-coats.
I really like the idea that once you find that there is not much out there you really like to wear, you should get down and design it yourself. I even go one step further and make the clothes myself. But as Liam does, it's quite a good way to also give others the opportunity to wear what you'd really love to wear yourself.
So far, so good. Since I'm not in the position to say what the quality of his clothes is like, I won't give my opinion on that. I'm pretty sure, though, that Liam of all persons loves a great quality teeshirt, speaking good fabric, good craftsmenship etc. while making it look very simple and all at the same time.
But nonetheless, I must say the website is still lacking a lot of items in their stock lists. He's talking about shoes all the time in his videos, yet I have never seen any shoes for sale on
[PRETTYGREEN.COM]. There might be a time when they add a lot more items to the page, but until then I must say that a handful of tees, polos, jumpers, hats and scarves is definitely not enough.
The one thing I'm truly in love with is the classic green parka, though. Liam and this parka are something like an item I think, they are just made for each other. I really wished that Liam would design a parka for the ladies, I'd be the first to get me one. Until then, I really think that if you feel that bit of swagger in you, get that parka as long as it's still available, it's all limited edition as it appears. I'm sure it's a piece of clothing for a lifetime.
Even if you're a girl, you should check out
[PRETTYGREEN.COM] now, even if only for the great videos (including fabulous songs by Mr. Gallagher), some great photography or for having a closer look at this parka, haha.
I hope a lot more will be happening with Pretty Green, I think there's lot more to it than what we can find in the online-shop at the moment. Go for it, Liam, I wanna see more!
