With each store hosting a pop-up space to celebrate the launch.
The collection sees Gallagher collaborate with brands chosen with Selfridges in a number of different ways. Barbour has created unique jackets that have been treated and upcycled, and include Liam Gallagher patches. C.P. Company has laser engraved his logo and RKID slogan onto its iconic lens badges, as well as using his prints on t-shirts. Finlay sunglasses have been detailed with LG initials, and Sage Nation’s smock includes images of Gallagher, while Gallagher himself helped design a range of items for Nigel Cabourn such as shorts, trousers, hats and jackets.
