British rock icon Ian Brown is sent so many free clothes, he "gave up shopping" more than 10 years ago.

The former Stone Roses frontman hooked up with Japanese designer KazukiKuraishi, after leaving the band to pursue a solo career - and he has received a regular package of freebies ever since.

Brown tells Absolute Radio, "The only item of clothing I've bought in the last eleven years is a Burberry cashmere tartan scarf, that's the only thing. I actually was able to give up shopping in February 99.

"I get a box sent from Japan, like every eight weeks I get a big box, and there's my jeans and what not.

Every item of clothing you've seen me in since 1999 will have been designed by Kazuki, he's one of the top streetwear designers of Japan.

He now designs Adidas and Levi's as well as a lot of the Japanese labels".
