Because we need each other! Lennon Gallagher is joined by mum Patsy Kensit on the front row at London Fashion Week presentation – as dad Liam prepares for Oasis reunion tour

Must read

The queue for JW Anderson’s latest catwalk presentation was fortunately not as long as the one recently faced by frustrated Oasis fans as London Fashion Week resumed on Sunday morning. 

Not that it mattered, because Liam Gallagher‘s eldest son Lennon already had a front row seat while attending the event alongside his mother, Patsy Kensit

The 25-year old joined a host of stars as the clothing and accessories range launched its new collection at Old Billingsgate. 

Newly-bleached blonde Lennon wore a distinctive floral print cagoule reminiscent of those favoured by his father while rubbing shoulders with fellow guests Joe Alwyn, Michelle Dockery, Poppy Delevingne, James Blake and former Fifth Harmony star Normani

Also in attendance was Isobel Richmond, the model and fashion student dated by Lennon until as recently as February, on this occasion accompanied by influencer and model Daniel Millar.

Joining her son on the front row, Patsy, 56, looked typically stylish in a crisp white shirt-dress as they greeted onlookers before settling down for the show.  

Lennon and Patsy were recently announced as the faces of a brand new Napapijri London Fashion Week campaign, shortly after Oasis confirmed they have reunited for a forthcoming tour. 

Photos from the campaign show mother and son posing in array of colourful ensembles for the brand – including jackets that bare a resemblance to those famously worn by Liam and older brother Noel during their Brit Pop heyday.

As part of the campaign, Lennon and Patsy were asked what the word ‘iconic’ means to them, with Patsy revealing: ‘To me, iconic is David Bowie. Throughout every decade, I was an obsessed fan.

‘He embodies fashion, music, art all in one. Him, and Kurt Cobain probably. What about you?’

Lennon explained: ‘For me, being iconic in fashion is about being yourself. It’s about doing what you really like and making it authentic to yourself.

‘You can subscribe to different styles, but mixing and matching them to make them your own—that’s what makes something iconic.’

Liam married British actress Patsy in 1997 in London and Lennon was born in September 1999, a year before their divorce. 

Also in attendance was Isobel Richmond, the model and fashion student dated by Lennon until as recently as February, on this occasion accompanied by influencer and model Daniel Millar

Meanwhile sales have closed for the last two Oasis Wembley dates next summer, Ticketmaster has confirmed.

Tickets went on sale in an invitation-only ballot for concerts on September 27 and 28 2025, in a process described by fans as ‘much, much smoother’ than the scramble last month.

Ticketmaster wrote on its website: ‘5.01pm. This ticket sale is now closed. There are currently no tickets available.’

But the Britpop band is now facing calls to refund fans who paid ‘over the odds’ during previous ticket sales, as consumer experts suggest that the use of ‘dynamic pricing’ may have breached the law.

Lisa Webb, a consumer law expert at Which? said: ‘It’s positive that fans didn’t face unexpected ‘in demand’ pricing at ticket sales for additional Oasis concerts.

Lennon and Patsy claimed the lion's share of attention as they idled with fellow guests outside the event on Sunday morning

‘However, Which? believes Ticketmaster’s pricing practices for the first round of Oasis ticket sales could have breached consumer law as fans weren’t properly warned about the use of ‘in demand’ pricing. 

‘It is extremely unfair to let fans queue for hours for tickets only to find that they are no longer available at the advertised price.

‘If the CMA’s investigation finds that Ticketmaster customers may have been misled about ticket prices, it could open the door to a flood of individual fans making court claims. 

‘Instead of forcing people to go through that hassle, Oasis and Ticketmaster should take responsibility and refund the difference to fans who ended up paying over the odds for tickets that would have been half the price just hours earlier.’

For the final Wembley Stadium gigs of the Oasis tour are already being resold online for £5,000 a pair as frustrated fans slam Ticketmaster after they faced technical difficulties trying to snag tickets during Saturday’s release.

Tickets for the last two Wembley shows on September 27 and 28 next year, which were announced following outrage over issues with the original sale, went on sale at 8.30am on Saturday morning. 

But the chance to buy them was only available to fans who received a special ballot code before 9pm on Friday evening and it didn’t guarantee them success as tickets are being sold on a first come, first served basis.

While adding the two dates to the run of the Oasis Live’ 25 tour, Oasis said they were unaware that ‘dynamic pricing’, which saw tickets on sale for more than double the original price, was being used to sell passes on Ticketmaster, and blamed the situation on ‘unprecedented demand’.

A spokesman for the venue said: ‘Our phone lines have been open since 8.30 this morning, in line with Ticketmaster.

‘Any accessible guests who’ve been able to produce a code have been allocated tickets at the time of their call.

‘Any accessible guests who do not have a code have been advised (both by the team on the phones and the automated messaging) to register their interest via wembleystadium.com and should we have availability remaining after today’s sale, the team will contact each of them back and look to accommodate tickets where we can.’
