I know that I often complain that there are far too many collaborations these days in fashion. Everyone seems to be designfucking together; each further collaboration feels less special and more opportunistic. But Raf Simons and Fred Perry have been in an ongoing collab relationship for over 6 years now. It is a match made in British prep (with an edge) Heaven.
I have long been a fan of Raf Simons (yes, even before his days at Dior and Jil), and I always find one or two items to buy from his namesake line Raf Simons. But Fred Perry by Raf Simons makes it much more affordable. The two brands have now released their F/W 2013 collection.
As a northern-climate resident – we all need a wardrobe of coats – here are two to add to your collection.
Varsity Jacket £495.00 (This coat is much better Bugundy than black even though I always buy black. Trust me)
Duffle Coat £495.00 (Yes, this is cerulean blue. A classic take-notice colour)
