Fred Perry and Raf Simons celebrate the 100 Club

Fred Perry has teamed up with Raf Simons to launch a collection inspired
by subculture and the energy of youth, with an autumn/winter 2020 range
paying homage to London’s most famous basement, the 100 Club.

Simons, currently co-creative director of Prada, has reinterpreted
classic Fred Perry pieces and infused them “with the sensibilities of his
eponymous line” and decorated them with images from the 100 Club Stories
book published by Fred Perry and Ditto.

In a statement, Fred Perry explains that Simons has brought his own
“distinctive design approach to Fred Perry archive styles,” reworking its
pique polo shirt with digital photographs from the book and a detachable
special Raf Simons branded pin badge.

Other highlights from the collaboration include oversized woven shirts
with various patches, a chunky knit that is also oversized, with fixed
patches on the back and sleeve, and a long wool coat that has a relaxed
fit, similar to the Raf Simons mainline collection.

There is also an olive-green parka with detachable fleece liner and
sweatshirts with dropped shoulders and print and logo applications in a
colour palette of black, red, blue, and white.

The full Fred Perry x Raf Simons collection launches on September 17 and
will be available from Fred Perry online.
