The Sheffield-born dad of three is one of the founding members of the Pour Some Sugar On Me hitmakers, who shook up the rock scene from 1976. Yet his fashion brand is also heavily influenced by rock 'n' roll and motorcycle culture - and is also a nod to Rick's life before finding fame. The collection is inspired by the title track of Ian Hunter's 1977 album Overnight Angels, which was released the same year aspiring footballer Rick was let go by his club Sheffield United and formed Def Leppard. Rick previously exclusively told The Sun of the collection and said: "I really wanted to pay homage to such a pivotal moment in my life. "And to be able work on this alongside my son, Scott, means so much more." Richard Madeley tries to outplay Def Leppard star Joe Elliott on the guitar on Good Morning Britain Designer Nick Holland - the creative force behind Liam Gallagher's Pretty Green brand - is also on board, which Rick said is a major coup. 'I think it represents us in the same way as the Pretty Green stuff represented Liam. "What I liked about it as an outsider is it truly represented him, that's the feeling I got." The brand manufactures its pieces in limited edition collections and promises nostalgic authenticity that thunders above the noise. What is a Nepo Baby? A 'nepo baby' is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.

Talking of the vibe of the brand, Foolin' hitmaker Rick added to "The Overnight Angels Crew is more street, urban style and OAC X Special Projects is my line – more classic rock 'n' roll with high end sophistication, not strictly biker stuff, it would appeal to a more rock-oriented crowd. "We're delighted with the way it has been received. It's still early days but I honestly think there is a niche for it. "I'll be wearing some of my line on tour!" Meanwhile, Scott often speaks out about the collections on thje brand's YouTube page. The tattooed northerner said in one clip "me and my dad have always been into fashion even from a young age." DEF HISTORY Not many bands make it 45 continuous years in the business - and even fewer overcome the setbacks Def Leppard have. The band's drummer Rick Allen famously lost his arm following a car crash in 1985. Against the odds, he remodelled his kit and played on the album Hysteria two years later - the band's most successful to date selling over 20million copies globally. Then in 1991, the band lost its talismanic guitar player Steve Clark to alcohol poisoning. The driving force behind many of their most famous songs, Rick previously described him as a 'genius'. Rather than folding, the band then sought to pay tribute to him by continuing to play his music. They recruited Vivian Campbell, who remains in the band to this day. 6 Rick previously gushed over working with his son on the designs Credit: YouTube 6 He is one of the founding members of the Foolin' band Credit: Getty
