I wish we could go back to the old days. You know, when pop stars were pop stars, and actors were actors and fashion designers were fashion designers. But no. It's inorexable. Once they're famous, they want it all. Books, perfume, clothing lines.
So, top fashion icon (?) Pete Doherty is to design and model clothes for musicy Manchester fashion label Gio-Goi, apparently. The news has not been confirmed by Gio-Goi, and so it might not be true, but reports suggest that they will announce the news at a press conference on Wednesday. The company's co-founder Anthony Donnelly would say only: "It's going to be a beautiful week next week."
So, with any luck, we can look forward to a generation of kids dressing like unkempt junkies. Not, of course, that I'm saying Pete Doherty is a junkie. Though he does dress like one.
