Fashion comes and goes, but Fred Perry has stood the test of time.
Its iconic shirt, adorned with the brand's instantly recognisable laurel wreath, is loved by everybody from punks to mods and celebrities to American presidents. You'll find that and more at the third Singapore Fred Perry standalone store which just opened in Bugis Junction.
Coinciding with that is the return of the brand's gig series Fred Perry Subculture Live, taking place on Oct 13 at the Esplanade Annexe Studio. Gary Powell of The Libertines will be spinning a DJ set, while local indie bands Astreal and The Betts will perform. ~ Dylan Tan
