Kings of Leon

Having a wee look through the Vogue most beautiful couples article today online, Caleb Fallowill and Lilly Aldridge were dancing amongst the beautiful people as so they definitely should be, who doesn't relish in a rock n roll love story right??

Seeing them in this article reminded me that The Kings of Leon had launched their first clothing line in collaboration with French designers Surface to Air in January 2010.  Like any fashion or music fan this would be quite an exciting date in the diary to see if can get a piece of the kings style as it would be expected to be original and some of it purse friendly?? asking too much?


Looking through the pieces it just reminded me how I haven't heard anyone say "ooh I got this shirt from the Kings Of Leon new clothing line" unless  you got a spare £150 to £750 for a plain tshirt or boring leather jacket which quite frankly doesn't look any different to what is in the likes of Urban Outfitters or All Saints, in fact these shops are better and have more ranges than the bands line.

Green checked shirt £102.00

Leather boots Whopping £369.00
If anyone is going to invest this much in a pair of boots, you are as well putting towards a far better looking pair and designer such as Paul Smith, Kurt Geiger or even Jones the boot makers.

E.g. Far smarter Hugo Boss boots from £230 to £139.00 BARGAIN

Red Checked Shirt which to be fair is very Caleb Fallowill -£112.00 (I find rakes of these types of shirts in Vintage stores all the time for a fraction of the price)

aah the boring grey t -shirt (topman regular from anything from £14.00 to £32.00)
will cost a lovely £71.00

Looking at this leather jacket, I'm really disappointed in as too shiny looks almost like fake plastic leather. This also boring leather jacket is around £738.00

Alternative and more stylish in my opinion from all saints Meuse Leather Jacket £295.00
















There is plenty more shockingly un-original and over priced items in The Kings of Leon clothing line, which quite frankly I think there is far better Rock n Roll looks going about the high streets at the moment and it goes to show it doesn't need to be High Street topman to get value for money as per my example of the Hugo Boss boots, overall I think the line is really disappointing, the band should maybe stick to doing the lines they are used to, which as we know is usually the ones in the toilet (so I've heard :), and keep the Rock and Roll clothing to the likes of Liam Gallagher?? 


Seeing as I haven't heard of any further 2011 launch and the lack of publicity from their previous Launch, I think hopefully they have tried and failed.


Keep The Kings we want to see!!
