Fred Perry Drakes Of London
Acting as a supremely well-appointed celebration of Great British style, the Drakes of London Fred Perry collaboration is a sleek, beautifully balanced look at quirky, individual fashion.
Fred Perry is a stalwart of British fashion; critically acclaimed as the brand that clothed the majority of early British fashion movements from the 60’s, right up to the modern day, it comes as no surprise to see them link up with another fine institution of British fashion, Drake’s of London.
At over 40 years old, Drake’s of London have an unassailable position as our stylish nation’s leading authority on well thought out patterns and fabrics. From the humble beginnings of a small scarf range, Drake’s of London have become renowned for their quality and craftsmanship, creating essentials for the modern gentleman, whilst staying true to their original production values- something that is rarely seen in modern fashion.
The collaboration between Fred Perry and Drake’s of London is for many a match that seems to be made in heaven. An eclectic blend of historical style inspiration, and classic British fashion values has resulted in a sublime collection that not only promises to be appropriate for the modern wardrobe, but offers a timeless look that will stay true for years to come.
