Husband-and-wife designers Christina and Swaim Hudson (with mini-Hudson, above) are closing their clothing line Obedient Sons & Daughters, although not for the reasons you might be thinking. In a press statement, they described difficulties with their primary investor, Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt. Most of the statement was included in Style File's scoop about the closure, but for those that are still curious we'll print it here in its entirety:

Today Christina and Swaim Hutson regretfully announce the closing of Obedient Sons, LLC due to complications with the brand's primary investor and their current minority ownership interest. In the past year, the brand has had tremendous growth and success; however, during this time there has not been sufficient capital to support the growth.
