This Spring/Summer  2013 Fred Perry announce a new Blank Canvas with Christopher Raeburn. Three different military printed shirts are available in all Fred Perry Laurel Wreath shops and online today.

“Our collaboration was motivated by my respect for Fred Perry’s incredible history. I like the way that they have always been relevant to different generations, having grown up with Quadrophenia as a massive reference that has never really left me; it’s still a part of my creative practice. I wanted to bring a little of the Raeburn world to Fred Perry, referencing our signature military and functional influences – for instance each polo comes with camouflage original pocket detail and a parachute bag for storage”.

Christopher Raeburn was the first designer ever to be awarded both NEWGEN Mens and Womens sponsorship in the same season. In 2008 he launched  his label, inspired by the challenge of creating ethically-aware men’s and womenswear. He has become known for ‘up-cycling’. Raeburn’s collections are highlighted for their intelligent design, high quality and extreme attention to detail.  Fred Perry  // Christopher Raeburn

For Spring 2009, the task fell upon womenswear designer Riccardo Tisci, who brought the sleek, darker themes prevalent in his women’s collections to the traditionally more conservative menswear division.

The innovative Korean brand Human Potential was established in 2008 in Seoul by DO & YK.  Yk Kim was born in South Korea and studied design and technology at Parsons, New York where she was heavily influenced and inspired by New York’s multi cultural atmosphere.

Taking these inspirations back to South Korea, her first idea was to set up a cultural space in which artists could exchange ideas, which in turn would influence global culture, in conjunction with creating an innovative fashion brand.  Joining forces with Dowon Kim, who shared her vision, Human Potential (HUPOT) the brand and it’s cultural movement was born in 2008.

In 2011 HUPOT signed a licensing agreement with Flux Apparel Inc to manufacture and distribute it’s clothing in the USA, and with vast interest from both consumers and artists from UK, Italy, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Denmark, New Zealand, Brazil and Singapore Human Potential is set to expand globally in the coming decade.
