Fred Perry x Art Comes First – Spring 2017

February 6, 2017

Founded by designers Sam and Shaka, Art Comes First is driven by the meeting of style and subculture. Self-proclaimed ‘travelling tailors,’ ACF share Fred Perry’s admiration of craftsmanship and strive to create pieces that inspire and look to the future.

The Fred Perry shirt is where it all started, and this collaboration brings together modern tailoring and sharp detailing of this classic.

Music is the soundtrack for everything that ACF do and for spring, influence is taken from rude boys, both sartorially and their attitude. The collection is designed to be worn with the same self-confidence.

A large graphic of ACF’s scissors and hat is printed on the inside of the bomber while ‘Leader of the Pack’ is stitched onto the back of the jacket – a nod to their punk sensibilities.

“Tradition, inheritance, nothing is new under the sun. We study what was done before us so that it can inspire the future. It’s the 360 circle of creativity.”
