I had a lot of input into the band, insists U2’s former stylist

FORMER U2 stylist Lola Cashman claimed that she was “frozen out” of her job as a freelance fashion stylist when letters were sent to British auction house Christies saying that items belonged to the band, and were not hers to sell.

Under cross examination from Counsel for U2 Paul Sreenan SC, Ms Cashman said that her professional reputation, which in documents submitted to the London High Court gave her an annual income of €74,000, suffered after she tried to sell the items.

She put the items up for sale, while she was taking a sabbatical in a remote part of Australia, but the letters had she said “made it impossible to work in my industry”.
