Nicholas Daley and Fred Perry work together on a new collection of apparel designed for the Fall/Winter 2020 season, celebrating martial arts and modern reggae culture. The British designer and Fred Perry are no strangers to one another, marking their fourth time working together.
The inspiration from the recent capsule is their shared admiration of blending modern culture with traditional craftsmanship. The two honor a plethora of subcultures from Britain and from there, explore a range of music and fashion themes as well. The color palette nods to retro themes, with earthy hues and patchwork detailing. Across the capsule, there are details including chain-stitched branding with Fred Perry logos and martial arts themed motifs and emblems.
