Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and Fred Perry Channel Early ’00s London Nightclub Hedonism – HYPEBEAST
Thu 12 May
Last night, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and Fred Perry took over Central London’s notorious 100 Club — the venue that’s housed everyone from The Rolling Stones to Amy Winehouse, and infamously Sid Vicious too — and now the duo is set to unveil their third and final collaboration. Given where its launch took place, it makes sense that this collaboration pays respect to London’s nightclub scene of the early 2000s, combining LOVERBOY’s subverted undertones with the preppy traditions of Fred Perry, itself a British institution within various subcultures.
Combined, Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY and Fred Perry present a collection that shares their love of tartan and a DIY aesthetic. But of course, the former’s flamboyance comes into play, adding glitter, hearts and saturated hues to much of the collection.
