The iconic British brand Fred Perry and the avant-garde Japanese label Comme des Garçons SHIRT have joined forces to release a unique and limited collection. This collaboration marks two decades since their first partnership and brings together the distinct styles and philosophies of both brands.
Founded in 1969 by Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons has always been at the forefront of challenging fashion norms with its bold, minimalist, and often monochromatic designs. Fred Perry, with its roots in British subcultures, has similarly championed individuality and nonconformism. This shared ethos makes their latest collaboration a powerful statement on the enduring value of self-expression.
This limited-edition collection features two distinct Fred Perry shirts, each decorated with graphic prints that encapsulate the spirit of both brands:
M3600 Fit Shirt:
Graphic: STRONG WILL
Description: This shirt features the bold “STRONG WILL” graphic, representing the determination and drive that unites Fred Perry and Comme des Garçons fans.
M6000 Fit Shirt:
Graphic: FREEDOM IS ENERGY
Description: This piece showcases the phrase “FREEDOM IS ENERGY,” a powerful statement underscoring the essence of self-expression and individuality.
Both shirts are adorned with the signature Laurel Wreath embroidery on the left-hand chest, ensuring an unmistakably Fred Perry finish.
