FOR PETE'S SAKE

WHEN Dior designer Hedi Slimane sent his 2005/6 collection down the catwalk it was all about Babyshambles front-man and Kate Moss's other-half, Pete Doherty. Skinny black ties, pork pie hats and skinny suits have since become a mainstay in men's fashion, with the Pete Doherty 'look' part of the fashion scenery. Enter revived Manchester label Gio Goi, which wanted him to be 'face' of the brand and you have a match made in heaven.

The brand . . . which has just launched womenswear, with Amy Winehouse endorsing it . . . is available in BT2 and has tee-shirts starting from 40.
