Fred Perry is a Japanese owned British sporting and fashion brand of clothing and accessories, founded by champion British tennis player Fred Perry in 1952. Although founded as, and intended to be a brand of sporting clothes, the Fred Perry brand gained mass popularity as a casual wear in the 60s due to association with alternative UK culture, notably the mods. The brand's logo is a laurel wreath, which usually appears on the left breast of Fred Perry garments, stitched into the fabric.[1][2] Fred Perry products are sold, and worn, around the world.[3] The Fred Perry brand is considered iconic, and remains popular, and fashionable. The brand has become a global symbol of alternative culture.[4][5]
