Fred Perry honors Margate in Spring-Summer 2014 collection

For this nostalgic collection, Fred Perry called upon Paddy Smith, known for printing the scooter rally patches that became a hallmark of 1980s alternative fashion. Smith designed six retro patches inspired by the town of Margate, conjuring up images of weekenders enjoying the seaside air and scooter runs.

The « Margate on the Run » collection includes several polos for men and women, two parkas, a piqué shirt, a waxed cotton bomber jacket and a number of accessories.

While the collection includes some solid colors, the majority of the pieces feature prints, including one of the hottest prints of the coming season: camouflage. The new collection includes T-shirts, a bowling bag and a backpack in a classic army green camouflage print.

The Fred Perry « Margate on the Run » collection goes on sale from March 4. Prices range from €99 (around $135) to €419 (around $580).
