By renewing the collaboration with Fred Perry with the “Energy and Freedom of Youth” collection.

After last year&#39;s &quot;Youth Club,&quot; Raf Simons reconfirms the collaboration with the leading polo brand Fred Perry for a new Spring/Summer 2021 collection entitled &quot;Energy and Freedom of Youth.&quot; Conjuring images that immortalize London nightlife in the early 1980s, youth subculture, and the unmistakable do-it-yourself aesthetic, the new series demonstrates Raf Simons&#39; sensitivity and creative path combined with Fred Perry&#39;s archetypal garments.

&quot;A polo is a polo, but a Fred Perry polo always brings with it an unmistakable atmosphere of youth subculture,&quot; tells Raf Simons who once again decides to reinterpret the garment in his own way.

The new polo shirts recalls documentary photographer Brian Flynn&#39;s images from the early 1980s chronicling evenings with his friends at 100 Club on Oxford Street with his Kodak Ektralight machine. &quot;I had just dropped out of school and started working as a bricklayer,&quot; says Brian Flynn. &quot;It was my first time earning money and I bought a camera to capture nights out with friends. I would start to process the film before work at 8 a.m. and shoot after work at 5 p.m., selecting the best shots for a photo album that I still keep today.&quot;

Brian Flynn&#39;s British-style images fill the garments with printed and sewn patches with a DIY aesthetic that winks at the punk culture of those years. The Raf Simons x Fred Perry collection Spring/Summer 2021 features polo shirts, t-shirts, and blazers with hand-embroidered writings that read &quot;Another Land&quot; is &quot;Time is on our side,&quot; as well as underground parkas, sweatshirts, and a natural white overcoat decorated with British badge pins&mdash;the Belgian designer&#39;s signature code.
