For Spring/Summer 2008 UK sneaker company Swear has worked on some nice collaboration projects. Until now we were not too excited about the brand and the general line still does not interest us very much, but these collaboration look and sound interesting, so we wanted to present them to you.
The brand has worked with Cassette Playa, Fred Perry, Denim Is Everything, graffiti artist BestOne and Danish sportswear classic Hummel. For now we can only show you the outcome of the Denim Is Everything (above), Hummel and BestOne collaborations, the others to follow soon. Via JC Report.

The members only luxury boutique Celux, by LVMH, will be closing its doors soon after 6 years of operation in Tokyo. For the occasion Celux asked some key designers and people that have contributed along the way to participate in a project, with Fred Perry contributing their classic polo shirt as the canvas. The list includes, Staple Design (NY), Libertine (NY), Duckie Brown (NY), Chatav Ectabit (NY), HTC (LA), Conrad Leach (UK), A Love Movement (LA), Suzukike (Japan), Jean Diadem (Japan. Designed by Japanese actor Asano Tadanobu), and Green (Japan). Via Jeff Staple.

Only three pieces of each polo shirt were made and they are only available to members of the Celux store. Here we give you a look at the ones designed by Staple. They come in black and white and feature a large cotton tag with a Celux and Staple signature.

After the long term collaboration of Fred Perry with Comme des Garcons, Raf Simmons now also entered into an agreement with the brand.
“The Raf Simons for Fred Perry men’s line will be in stores this fall, and replaces the designer collaboration with Comme des Garçons that Fred Perry has sold for the past seven seasons. The Raf Simons initiative encompasses 13 pieces for fall, and may expand into additional categories next year. The initial agreement between Fred Perry and Simons is for two seasons, but the deal can be extended if both parties agree.
The debut fall collection includes a heavy piqué polo ($195 retail); a textured acrylic/cotton polo ($485); a short-sleeved wool/nylon turtleneck sweater ($370); a mohair turtleneck sweater ($550); a wool/acrylic/alpaca chunky knit sweater ($845); and a wool flannel trouser ($400).” Via DNR.
We are not sure how excited we are about this replacement though! Let’s see what the outcome of the collection is, later this year.

Here we give you a first look at the upcoming Spring/Summer 2008 styles by this on-going Fred Perry x Comme des Garcons collaboration. Of course the Japanese brand remixes once again the classic Fred Perry polo, coming this time with a new stripe design and in new colors. Also they will be releasing the Fred Perry jacket as part of this collaboration collection. Keeps your eyes open for the drop!

Just recently we presented to you the latest Fred Perry x Dover Street Market polo shirts. Today we can show you another collaboration by the brand that just entered stores. This time Fred Perry got together with Milanese concept store 10 Corso Como. The outcome is a series of polo shirts in black, white and grey. The special features are the metallic stripes on the collar and the sleeves. The grey polo comes with silver metallic stripes and the black and white polos come with gold metallic stripes. On the chest there is both the Fred Perry and the 10 Corso Como logo embroidered, in the matching metallic colorway.

As part of the Blank Canvas collection Fred Perry got together this season with Alastair McKimm. Alastair McKimm is a stylist, born and raised in Belfast. Now based in New York, he has worked with numerous fashion publications including Italian, Chinese and Japanese Vogue, Purple, i-D, V, Numèro and Numèro Homme.

Expect this new collection to land in stores in the coming weeks.

The inspiration behind the collection was born when a Fred Perry designer unearthed a vintage Fred Perry t-shirt…for an Action Man!
Using this shirt for style references the classic Fred Perry shirt was ‘supersized’ and lead to the Little Big Action Man titles. Key details include oversized collar and cuffs, thicker tipping, large press stud fastenings and a heavier knitted pique styled in a slim-fit silhouette.
There are three items in the collection all iconic pieces from the Fred Perry collection; the traditional polo shirt, the track jacket and the classic tennis jumper. All styles carry the authentic 1950’s Fred Perry laurel worked in a heritage palette – shades of snow white and tartan green.
This limited edition collection will be available from Thursday 8^th November from oki-ni.com and from Fred Perry Laurel stores world-wide.
Check out all three pieces in this limited edition collection after the jump.

The Fred Perry x Comme des Garcons Checkered Trainers are now available here. After the jump more detailed images.
