Liam Gallagher's Clothing Line, Pretty Green

Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style, Celebrity Design

Rock stars and clothing lines are nothing new, we've seen everyone from Kings of Leon to Kenny Chesney take a shot at the clothing biz. But Oasis singer Liam Gallagher's line for men, Pretty Green, has been so successful that he's turning to women's clothing. Vogue UK reports that Gallagher is adding womenswear to his Pretty Green collection.

The Pretty Green line is described as an up-front, straight talking, classic clothing range that is owned and designed by Gallagher. All pieces, including scarves, jackets and T-shirts are described as limited edition and all are subject to Liam's final approval. He's made it clear on the website and in a video about the line (after the jump) that his motivation for the clothing was to create something that he himself was looking for in fashion design. The Pretty Green website bears his quote: "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 cuz there's a lack of stuff out there of the things I would wear." How that will apply to designing for women is yet to be seen.

Alone In A 32-Story Condo Tower, One Family Wants Out

Does living in a luxury condo tower all by yourself sound like fun? One New Jersey family doesn't see it that way. Victor Vangelakos and his family bought a condo in the Oasis I condo tower in Fort Myers, Florida and are the sole residents. The family paid $430,000 to purchase the condo from The Related Group for $430,000 and closed on it in November. Vangelakos planned to use it as a second home and eventually retire there.

Th real estate market slump in Florida hit this building hard and many who put down deposits opted not to complete the deal. Others who did have swapped their units for ones in the more populated Oasis II next door. But Vangelakos couldn't get his lender to agree to the swap. Vangelakos described life in the condo to the Fort Myers News-Press depicting an existence where an eerie quiet is broken up by occasional night break-ins in the darkened building. Vangelakos wants out of building. He hasn't filed a lawsuit yet but his attorney points out that The Related Group hasn't come through on the marina, pro shop and other promised amenities. As for Related's side, they say that it's up to him to work out a deal with his lender to transfer the mortgage to a unit in Oasis II. His money went to Related's lender, not the company itself so Related would have to pay off the mortgage to get the money back. In this case both the buyer and the seller are in a bit of a tough spot.

Gallagher Brothers To Create A Hotel Chain

It used to be that every celebrity had to have a fragrance or a clothing line. Add hotel to that must-have list. The latest to launch a hotel chain will be Liam and Noel Gallagher, the mercurial brothers behind Oasis. The rock stars are eager are to launch a hotel chain in America and reportedly will use their songs as themes for the hotels which are planned for Miami, New York and West Hollywood. They are hoping to name the hotels Supernova Heights. Given their famous fights I can't imagine that the Gallagher brothers will agree on enough things to actually get a hotel built.
