The British brand presents its 12th collection in collaboration with the Belgian designer. Inspired by modern art, the new looks combine Fred Perry's preppy style with a signature Raf Simons sensibility. The collection is available in boutiques and online.

Fred Perry and Raf Simons first partnered back in the fall/winter of 2008 and initially ended their collaboration back in spring/summer 2011, only to begin again July 2013. Their long-lasting collaboration has produced prominent collections combining the values, aesthetic and culture of both worlds. A combination that is evident in every piece of the new collection. 

The British brand notes that Raf Simons "brings bold and graphic design sensibilities" to Fred Perry's timeless style -- representing both the past and present of underground culture and providing a modern twist to otherwise classic styles.

The modern art influence can be perceived in the colors and the designs of the fall/winter 2015 collection: multi-colored diagonals on shirt seams and printed t-shirts and a graphic chevron pattern on shirts with zippers. Zippers are very visible and provide a modern feel to the outfits.

The ready-to-wear collection includes V-neck sweaters, three-button cardigans, zip-up polos, vests, shirts, high-neck sweaters and revisited bomber jackets that play with contrasts.

This Fred Perry & Raf Simons collaboration is available in prices ranging between US $110 (for a t-shirt) and US $450 (for the bomber jacket).
