Fred Perry X Raf Simons, Summer's Latest Affair Has Gone Native.
Fred Perry, whose athletic street wear has seen the ilk of Britpop fans donning its signature pique polos since the 90s, has teamed up with Raf Simons for a new Spring/Summer 2015 collection doled out in a mosaic of native abstract prints, on slim-fitting silhouettes.
By comparison, the latest collaboration is a consent to a tribal-inspired trend that's storming down the runways for a couple of seasons now. While Simons' impression of the Fred Perry silhouette remains true to form in a slimmer, longer figure, its monochrome palette has too, served as backdrop to splashes of colour, which became vivid caricatures of abstract motifs patterned all over its mainstay pieces. Such with its sturdy jersey t-shirts or sweatshirts- designed in Privet Green with an abstract print across the front.
On hindsight, the classic Fred Perry still innovates. Whether you're keeping abreast in style as you don your summer sweatshirts, three-quarter sleeves, or pique polo tees, Fred Perry X Raf Simons conveys more with a brilliant take on your quintessential summer all get out attire- in shirts with a detachable collar, a fishtail parka cut slimmer for the slender Raf Simons fan, and a pair of city shorts, specifically redesigned in tandem with the sportswear label's 1950s tennis mise-en-scène. This arena of summer classics offered aren't just rehashes of past fashionable sportswear, they're a whole new game of street casual- even if you're planning to take them to court.
