NEW ORDER
Polo, Fred Perry X Raf Simons, f/w 2017.
between Fred Perry and Raf Simons. The belgian designer, particularly attached to inspiration given by the youth subcultures, redesigns the iconic garments of the british brand with his distinctive use of shape and colour. And here is the polo-shirt: made in a lightweight piqué, with a slightly fitted shape, with contrasting collar and placket, while the buttons are enlarged to become a decorative element; the effect is clean and modern. “I fantasise about what the future could be in terms of aesthetic and psychology. It’s the most difficult thing to do because you have to start from the past – your favourite architect, your favourite song –you take it all with you.” (Raf Simons on The Guardian).
