Ronnie Wood 'launches clothing line'

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood launched his first clothing line in London yesterday.

The autumn/winter collection for Liberty Of London was produced alongside the department store's creative director Tamara Salman, drawing inspiration from a selection of Wood's canvas paintings, which have been translated onto a range of fabrics.

Wood said that the collection was devised after he met Salman during a late-night shopping trip.

"Everything was 50% off, and there I was, going, 'I'll have this couch, I'll have that chair' - I didn't realise what it really meant was 50% on," he told The Times.

"I swear I came out £5,000 lighter."
