The Pretty Green x MINI collaboration produced a psychedelic, paisley printed Mini Cooper that is [up for auction to support charitable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/id-buzz-virtual-auction) tsunami and earthquake initiatives.

The Pretty Green clothing label is owned by Liam Gallagher who most may recognize as the singer for the British band [Oasis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knebworth-concerts). As a way to assist the natural disaster relief efforts in Japan, the vocalist teamed up with MINI to create a [custom made vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-a7l). It echoes the silhouette of the Crystal Mini Cooper, which was a special edition car. The highest bidder will not only take home the floral teardrop patterned car, but also a signed biker jacket and a limited-edition driver's kit.

Just in case your friends don't believe that the Pretty Green x MINI vehicle is a joint venture with the Oasis front man, just put on your jacket and watch as their mouths drop open.
