Fred Perry x Stussy Deluxe - Spring/Summer 2010 - Limited Edition “Blank Canvas” Collection

"Heritage tennis sportswear label, Fred Perry, has been branching off from traditional tennis get-up for a while now with a series of wildly popular collaborations such as tapping into the brains and style of Belgian designer, Raf Simons. As a part of the label’s “Blank Canvas” collaborations, the label has invited U.S. urban label, Stussy, to create a capsule collection incorporating classic Fred Perry elements. The collaboration works with Stussy ’s Stussy Deluxe focuses on the sharp and cool aesthetics–”the definition of modernist” as Creative Director of Stussy, Nick Bower, puts it. The collaboration brings American and British aesthetics under one roof, condensed into six items including a slim-fit Fred Perry button down dressed in Stussy plaid, tees emblazoned with logos of both labels, Fred Perry’s iconic polo, tennis bomber and varsity jacket. Check out images of the upcoming collection courtesy of oki-ni and stay tuned for the collection due to drop in February 2010.
Release Date: February 2010"

Andy Murray Sells Used Shirts For Malaria


December 17, 2009 by Ashley Parker
Tennis player Andy Murray is selling old match shirts to raise pounds for the charity Malaria No More.
Ranked number four in the world, and recently named British player of the year, Murray plans to sell 100 of his Fred Perry shirts for £15 each. For every shirt sold, Malaria No More will buy three mosquito nets to prevent African children from getting the disease.
The sale starts December 21 on www.andymurray.com. The shirts, each worn by Murray at some point, will be sold on a first come first served basis.
A huge rush by fans is expected, and Sarah Kline of Malaria No More is excited about Murray’s involvement: “We are thrilled Andy is supporting our efforts to put an end to malaria deaths by 2015.”
Murray said, “This is the first global charity that I have been involved with in this capacity and it was an easy decision. Malaria is completely preventable, but yet it still kills more children in Africa than any other disease. We can change this. It is a huge opportunity and I’m urging the UK to get behind Malaria No More.”
