Margaret Howell looked into the Fred Perry archive for her latest collaborative collection with the brand, while drawing on her own memories of sports at school
Margaret Howell first collaborated with Fred Perry in 2019, the first collection inspired by the latter’s roots in tennis . It is a partnership that has proved fruitful, and fitting – both labels are synonymous with British style, and have been adopted by subculture and establishment alike.
Sportswear remains prescient to the latest chapter of the collaboration – titled 'Fred Perry for Margaret Howell’ – which launches online on June 16, 2023 and in stores from June 19. ’I enjoyed sports and athletics at school and when I began designing clothes, sportswear was a source of inspiration – photographs of sports men and women in action for example,’ says Howell.
As such, the collection – made for both men and women – is defined by its ease of design, whether a gently oversized open-collared rib sweatshirt , zip-cuff narrow-leg track pants, or a polo-neck dress evocative of women’s tenniswear. A restrained colour palette spans black, off-white, burnt orange and khaki; each piece is completed with Fred Perry’s signature laurel leaf logo as an embroidered self-coloured motif.
Alongside, a smattering of accessories complete the collection; namely, a classic pair of cotton sports socks and a high-top plimsoll in black canvas with a natural rubber sole. 'Fred Perry for Margaret Howell’ is available from tomorrow online and in stores from 19 June, 2023.
