The name Miles Kane might ring a bell to indie rock darlings particularly to those who listens to The Last Shadow Puppets, a band also co-fronted by Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys. Known for his suave, Mod style and sharp suits, Miles is next in line to release a collaboration with British brand Fred Perry.
Together with Miles exaggerated styling and retro dressing, the Fred Perry sportswear pieces are redefined using luxe fabrics to fashion slim-fit silhouettes and gold Fred Perry logo to top it off.
“I’ve worn Fred Perry since I was a kid, and throughout the different stages of my life. Growing up, when you’re finding out who you are, you experiment with your style. My reset button always takes me back to a Fred Perry”
– MILES KANE
A staple of the brand, the new Fred Perry shirt is reworked in a textured open-weave with open necklines, oversized collars and gold Laurel Wreath embroidery. The knitted shirt, initially designed to bridge life on and off the court, now echoes the underground mod scene of Los Angeles (Miles’ new home) and European and the ’70s subcultures.
Slim-fit silhouette further accentuated by gold zipper and Fred Perry logo breathe new life into another sportswear classic, the velour tracksuit. The table tennis shoe is given a contemporary spin featuring perforated white leather and gold Laurel Wreath embroidery.
