Malkovich launches clothing brand

John Malkovich has launched a new fashion collection.

The unlikely fashion icon - star of films like Being John Malkovich and Burn After Reading - created Technobohemian, a casual clothing line which will preview with a cocktail party and presentation at the White Homme trade fair in Milan, Italy, reports Women's Wear Daily.

The 55-year-old explains on the party invites: "Technobohemian is a phrase I read in a yet unpublished Italian novel - I lift it with the author's permission and I will endeavour to use it well!"

This is the second men's clothing line John has launched - in 2002, the Oscar-nominated actor debuted his Uncle Kimono line.
