Robbie’s clothing line folds

Robbie Williams’ clothing line Farrell has folded, reports The Mirror.
The brand first started trading in 2011, with Williams ‘designing’ in partnership with one-time Burberry tailor Ben Dickens. “Built upon the foundations of old-fashioned, British values – honesty, integrity and the sense of men being men”, the clothing line was sold in Selfridges and House Of Fraser, in addition to having its own ‘pop-up’ premises in Covent Garden.
