British designer Craig Green and Fred Perry have unveiled their second collaboration, offering three new shirts dyed in hues inspired by the raw materials of the tennis court. First designed by Wimbledon champion Fred Perry, the cult-favorite garment is imbued with Green’s subtle avant-garde sensibilities through a unique dye effect.
Starting with a foundation of a stark white shirt with neon green accents reminiscent of tennis balls, each shirt is embedded with thematic pigments. From red-brick clay to green grass and chalk-dusted baselines, each colorway draws from a different element on the court. Rather than taking a traditional garment-dyeing approach, a special method is utilized to achieve the intentional irregularity seen in each piece. Beneath the collar and the placket, the original white fabric is visible, along with the neon accents. Regardless of the unconventional color treatment, each color is relatively subdued, suggesting a mere echo of each reference.
