Fred Perry announces their new blank canvas partner for S/S 2010, legendary US streetwear label Stussy. The collection is a perfect hybrid of two of the most important and original streetwear brands in apparel history.
The historical link between the two brands goes back decades. The Fred Perry shirt was an important part of the US West Coast surf/punk/ska scene's uniform in the late 70's -- some of the same community that influenced Shawn Stussy's grassroots brand in the 1980's and later the developmental of the global Stussy Tribe.

The classic range comprises six styles. Key pieces include the classic slim-fit Fred Perry shirt styled in classic Stussy plaid, a reworked tennis bomber, a heritage slim-fit, buttoned-down collared shirt and a leather and plaid varsity jacket with tipped collar and cuffs.
The palette is simple, clean and muted blending grey, black, white and dusk blue. All garments are branded with both the Fred Perry laurel and the Stussy Deluxe tag.
