Pretty Green The Best Bits Of The A W 13 Collection

Remember Oasis? That band in the 90's that changed absolutely everything for British culture- the one that you either love or hate (most of us love them by the way), and the one that ultimately split up, leaving a rift between two brothers who were arguably two of the greatest musicians of the era.

Yes, of course you remember Oasis; and of course, you remember the Gallagher brothers.

Liam- the extrovert, sunglasses and parka wearing front man, became the savior of British music, in an age where rock and roll was hanging on to the charts by it's last finger. Meanwhile, his brother Noel was delivering the countries most famous band pure gold, after penning songs like Don't Look Back in Anger andThe Masterplan.

Yep. The Gallagher brothers were, and still are, one of our little island nations most treasured children. However, following the quite frankly horrific split of the great Oasis, after a spat between the two brothers which has since developed into a modern day feud which rivals that of North Korea and the rest of the world, the two key pieces of Oasis went their separate ways.

Noel started his own band-Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (you should check them out, they're very good), and Liam... well, Liam did what he did best. He started a rock and roll group, Beady Eye, and ran with his obsession for cool clothing, and a cooler attitude, as he founded his own label, Pretty Green.

Time to focus on the latter part of Liam Gallagher's post Oasis story-Pretty Green. Undoubtedly one of the greatest labels to come out of England in the past 5 years, Pretty Green, has grown a huge, fiercely loyal fan base, as it strives to revolve in the gap that exists between the worlds of music and fashion.

Pretty Green does just that, as it draws its inspiration from everything music related- from the mods at Brighton in the 60's as they fought the rockers, to The Who's Quadrophenia album of the 70's, Pretty Green makes the link between music and clothing seamless. Bringing about all the feelings that being adored brings, Pretty Green clothing is about being the centre of attention; the envy of all and the face of a generation. Like its founder, Liam Gallagher, Pretty Green is loud, and proud.

Left: An interesting take on a true classic, the horizontal striping on this Pretty Green polo give it an extra touch of interest.

Center: We love the smart look that this black polo offers. With a bold stripe on the collar, it's great with a pair of raw jeans and buttoned up to the top. With a multi stripe collar underneath too, you can lift it up to give it a more casual dimension.

Right: The clashes in colour on this classic twin tip polo make this design look like a true original. The blue and burgundy, against the ecru give a real feel of the right kind of rock and roll nostalgia.

Left: Every rock and roll star would be lost without a trusty leather jacket- so cue this biker jacket. Finished in a plush soft leather, it's got a cropped cut making it perfect for wearing with anything from t-shirts to shirts.

Center: A real mod classic, the Harrington jacket is a truly timeless piece of design. With a full zip and button down pockets, this Pretty Green edition looks great in red.

Right: Perfect for winter thanks to having a touch more weight behind it, this Pretty Green Pang Jacket is finished in a traditional field jacket style, with the four front pockets, making it great for casual wear.

Left: A classic check shirt can work wonders in your casual wardrobe-try linking this with a pair of slim raw jeans for an easy smart/casual look.

Center: One of the season's biggest patterns, the polka dot is set to take winter by storm. Get on board with this smart little number, finished with a button down collar.
