A MEETING OF TWO GREAT BRITISH BRANDS
Curry & Paxton x Fred Perry
Both Curry & Paxton and Fred Perry have a place in popular culture history - two British brands with iconic products; Fred Perry, founded in 1952 with its classic polo shirt and Curry & Paxton with the YVAN frame and an unrivalled pedigree in the optical world since 1886.
Both brands are shorthand for originality, and this collaboration is a representation of this shared niche.
THE ORIGINAL ICON
The Yvan frames
The Yvan frame was iconised by British film actor Michael Caine when he wore the glasses in the Len Deighton spy film, The Ipcress File in 1965, the very epitome of sixties style. Caine appropriated the frame again in 1969 in the British crime-caper, The Italian Job, although on this occasion sporting the sunglasses. It is only fitting that this iconic frame is celebrated in this inaugural collaboration between two iconic brands.
The Fred Perry shirt has been embraced by every British subculture since the 1950s making it a definitive reference for British men's style. This icon has created a timeless and enduring legacy.
SUBCULTURAL HERITAGE SINCE THE 1950’S
Available as sunglasses
They are available in two colour options, Black and Champagne – both colours inspired by the rebellious Fred Perry Shirt colourway which has been a piece of subcultural uniform since the 1950s.
