Red Stripe lager has been named as one of the 'must-have' accessories for the United Kingdom scene setters by the Independent Extra Newspaper.

The beer sits alongside iconic brands that include Converse, Vans and Nike and with trend-setters like supermodel Agyness Deyn and Albert Hammond Jr of The Strokes.

In the article called The Hip Parade, Red Stripe is the only beer featured with current fashion must haves like; straw trilby hats, deep V-neck T-shirts and vintage flannel shirts.

"Red Stripe has always been at the cutting edge of style representing individuality and expression," says Red Stripe Global Marketing Director, Grace Silvera. "The beer's chic iconic status has been reflected in its association with popular culture throughout its history, so it's the beer of choice for style-setters."
