Gallagher’s son a chip off the old block on catwalk
LIAM Gallagher’s son Lennon looked the spitting image of his famous father as he prepared to take part in a futuristic fashion show.
Lennon, the former Oasis rocker’s eldest son, is modelling items by upcoming designer Gerrit Jacob for the first ever 5G mixed reality catwalk at Central Saint Martins (CSM) for its London Fashion Week MA Show.
The model, who at 19 has inherited his father’s recognisable strong eyebrows, was pictured being fitted into a pale blue knitted shirt and tie behind the scenes by Jacob, who wore a Magic Leap virtual reality headset.
Lennon has already found success as a model, working for brands including Saint Laurent, Topman and Zara Man.
Lennon is the son of Gallagher and his ex-wife Patsy Kensit. He has three other children from other relationships.
Jacob’s show will see models showing off his designs on the runway but in a mixed reality setting, provided by Three’s 5G network, with the designer’s inspirations coming to life in a way never seen before at London Fashion Week.
Phone network Three installed the UK’s first permanent live 5G installation at the college in a bid to transform the future of fashion, art, design and performance in collaboration with CSM.
Jacob said: “My collection was born out of a love for the retro, eccentric and wonderfully weird, inspired by my experiences living in Hamburg.”
