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.

recognizing genius.

Frederick John Perry (18 May 1909 – 2 February 1995) born in Stockport, Cheshire, was an English tennis and table tennis player and three-time Wimbledon champion. He was the World No. 1 player for five years, four of them consecutive, 1934 to 1938, the first three years as an amateur. As an eight-time Slam winner, Perry is the last British male player to win any of tennis's Grand Slam events, and one of only six men in history to have won all four Grand Slam events.

In the late 1940s, Perry was approached by Tibby Wegner, an Austrian footballer who had invented an anti-perspirant device worn around the wrist. Perry made a few changes and invented the sweatband. Wegner's next idea was to produce a sports shirt, which was to be made from white knitted cotton pique with short sleeves and buttons down the front. Launched at Wimbledon in 1952, the Fred Perry polo shirt was an immediate success.

The brand, now owned by a Japanese corporation, is best known for its laurel logo, which appears on the left breast of the tennis shirts. The laurel logo (based on the old Wimbledon symbol) was stitched into the fabric of the shirt instead of merely ironed on (as was the case with the crocodile logo of the competing Lacoste brand).

The white polo shirt was only supplemented in the late 50s when the mods picked up on it and demanded a more varied colour palette. It was the shirt of choice for diverse groups of teenagers throughout the 1960s and 70s, ranging from the skinheads to the Northern Soul scene. It regained popularity when Scottish tennis star Andy Murray had it as his clothing sponsor; Murray signed with Adidas for 2010. (Wikipedia)
