Lennon Gallagher looks the spitting image of his rock star father Liam as he becomes the new face of Napapijri with mother Patsy Kensit

Must read

Lennon Gallagher and Patsy Kensit are the faces of a brand new Napapijri London Fashion Week campaign – and the former looks the spitting image of his famous father Liam.

With his unruly eyebrows and mop of brown hair, there is no mistaking the rockstar lineage of the 24-year-old singer and model, who’s following in his dad’s footsteps.

Photos from the campaign show the mother, 56, and son duo posed up in array of colourful ensembles for the brand –  including jackets that bare a resemblance to those Oasis famously sported in their heyday. 

The actress gushed: ‘When we did the shots of the two of us it was really cute and he couldn’t stop laughing and our relationship and closeness were really transparent in that moment. Today’s been a really great day.’

Lennon chimed in with: ‘Yeah, we joked about keeping a straight face, but when we finally shot together, it was fun.’

According to Liam's brother Noel, Patsy and his then-wife Meg Matthews 'hated' each other (pictured L-R: Liam and Patsy in 1996)

In one shot, Patsy and Lennon posed next to each other and looking directly into the camera, both wearing nude coats from the brand and showcasing their family likeness. 

Another snap of Lennon in a puffer jacket highlights just how much he is a dead ringer for his father, who became known for his love of parkas in the nineties.

Other outfits in the shoot include a bright green fluffy jacket and matching bucket hat, and a red and white fleece.

As part of the campaign, the mother and son 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.’

The photoshoot is described as exploring themes of generational harmony, family bonds, and contrasts.

And the stylish campaign is not the first to see Lennon take on the world of fashion.

It comes just days after he became the new face of Burberry’s Classics edit.

Posing in the British brand’s famous trench coats, Burberry printed trainers and a tote bag, Lennonsaid he’s ‘into fashion but doesn’t over think it’. 

Speaking to British Vogue he said his shoot prep involves ‘two strong coffees, a pack of cigs and loads of music’ and that his summer is about ‘keeping his head down with work’.

However, he revealed that the limelight isn’t much for him as he lives in all-black to avoid getting seen by paparazzi and ‘loves whacking on a hoodie and then a big coat and hiding my face,’.

When asked what he enjoyed wearing, he said: ‘Day to day, I wear whatever is the closest thing to me at the time: baggy tees, baggy trousers, baggy sneakers.’

When asked why he chose to work with Burberry, Gallagher he used to take check scarves from his mum.
