Fred Perry, which has long revered youth culture has teamed up once again with Belgian enfant terrible designer Raf Simons in an homage to the London nightlife of the early ‘80s. Its most well-known item of clothing is the iconic twin-tipped polo shirt, which has gone from tennis courts to nightclubs and has been worn by punks, skaters, soulboys, and Rastafarians alike. “A polo shirt is a polo shirt, but the Fred Perry polo shirt always brings a vibe of youth subculture,” says Simons.

This collection bears his characteristic patches, that have been printed and stitched onto garments including loose-fitting oversized button shirts, parkas, hoodies, and yes, polos. The patches feature images taken by photographer Brian Flynn at London’s famed 100 Club, between ’82 and ’83.

In addition to the handmade feel that the perforations, removable patches, badges, and Laurel Reef pins provide, the choice of black, white, and lipstick red for the color palette add to the subversive approach. Your father’s tennis whites these are not. Standouts include the Laurel Wreath Detail Roll Neck Top, constructed in a decadently shiny poly-blend jersey that has a metal Laurel Wreath tab at the neck and Raf Simons sleeve embroidery for $150, and the Graphic Patch Blazer emblazoned with chequerboard and ‘A’ for Antwerp patches with a plastic Raf Simons badge on the lapel for $625. It is also printed with scribbled handwriting and signatures from Raf Simons and Fred Perry.

The Split T-Shirt for $140 with its vertical black and white color blocking is striking when paired with the similarly designed fleece-back zip-through Printed Patch Zip Through Hooded Sweatshirt with Kangaroo pockets for $300. The sweatshirt features a removable photographic patch at the chest– attached by a lacquer Laurel Wreath and ‘RS’ pin.

This collection embodies not only the look of punk but its DIY ethos as well. If you buy multiple pieces, don’t be afraid to mix and match the patches and the pins that come with this collection. If you don’t own any Raf Simons pieces, this can be an affordable way to pick up on some of his youthful verve. If you do, what’s here will blend seamlessly into your own collection.
