Raf Simons Unveils a New Fred Perry Collaboration Project
Raf Simons celebrates retro London with its new Fred Perry collaboration featuring a selection of apparel designs. The duo reworks archival pieces from the British fashion label. It references the subcultures of past eras, nodding specifically to the 80s.
Raf Simons shines a spotlight on images of Brian Flynn, who is seen in photographs of nights out at 100 Club during the years 1982 and 1983. These visuals are printed out and sewn onto silhouettes such as parkas, polo shirts, hoodies, and more. The most notable piece to join the capsule is the polo shirt, boasting details of both contributing brands. Another notable item is the white blazer, with a touch of punk informed elements.
