&quot;A polo is a polo, but a Fred&nbsp;Perry polo always brings with it an unmistakable atmosphere of youth subculture,&quot; tells Raf Simons who once again decides to reinterpret the garment in his own way.

The new polo shirts recalls documentary photographer Brian Flynn&#39;s images from the early 1980s chronicling evenings with his friends at 100 Club on Oxford Street with his Kodak Ektralight machine. &quot;I had just dropped out of school and started working as a bricklayer,&quot; says Brian Flynn. &quot;It was my first time earning money and I bought a camera to capture nights out with friends. I would start to process the film before work at 8 a.m. and shoot after work at 5 p.m., selecting the best shots for a photo album that I still keep today.&quot;
