Fred Perry X Space Invaders brings old school video game love into our closets

Ah, Space Invaders. The legendary arcade game that ruled my technicoloured childhood. What was an instant phenomenon when it first hit arcades back in 1978 continues to remain an integral part of pop culture. Even a French urban artist has dedicated his work purely to bringing to our reality these 8-bit arcade wonders, and now, with Fred Perry X Space Invaders, we can do the very same with our wardrobe – and look mighty good while doing it.
