Raf Simons x Fred Perry
They've done it before and they're doing it again for SS12/13.
Raf Simons has a history of collaborating with the Fred Perry label, having released collections with the UK brand from AW08 until SS11, with good-looking result, and he patron saint of colour-blocking is joining forces with Fred Perry once more. Hold on to your polos! The capsule collection will be released this July, just in time for Paris Men's Fashion Week. Speaking about his much-anticipated project with Fred Perry, the new Artistic Director of Dior (he gets around) said “we are very excited to relaunch the collaboration with Fred Perry. We have great appreciation for the heritage of the brand as well as their dynamism in guiding the brand towards the future."
If Raf Simons' menswear line is anything to go by, this resurrected collaboration is going to be off the hook. Here's hoping Mr. Porter stocks that too. You know they're doing free shipping on all orders to Australia right? Well they are — but only until May 6. You know what to do, bros!
