We’ve always been fascinated by record sleeves and how much creativity each artist puts into them. Most of the time, that was reason enough to buy a record. Rocksteady, reggae and ska... always brightens our ideas and make us feel alive.
When it came to designing this collection with Fred Perry, we thought we would soundtrack what we are familiar with when we wear Fred Perry or when I see people wearing it - it was simply Rudeboy music.
We thought we would re-interpret the colours of the record sleeves through the Fred Perry shirt, adding some key details inspired by the artwork of the records.
Being our first colourful collection, this made us feel like we were there when our heroes were creating those records, imagining us being in the studio with the likes of Lee Scratch Perry, Big Youth, Gregory Issacs...
