In an electrifying fusion of club culture, cult football brand MEYBA has teamed up with iconic London institution fabric to produce an exclusive football shirt. Launching online via the fabric store on October 2nd, a limited number of shirts will be available to purchase. The shirt will then be available to purchase in fabric over their 25th anniversary celebrations on the weekend of 11th, 12th and 13th October. This release marks a momentous meeting of two legendary brands.
Since opening its doors in 1999, fabric has been at the forefront of the music scene and the club culture conversation. Consistently platforming a diverse range of genres and acts, fabric has played a pivotal role in shaping the global dance music scene for the past 25 years. A leading authority on cutting-edge electronic music experiences, through both its programme of events and the label family that sits under the fabric umbrella (fabric Records, Houndstooth and Originals), fabric continues to be a beacon for dance music lovers worldwide.
MEYBA gained worldwide prominence in the 1980s when the sportswear company solidified its place in football history by becoming the official kit supplier for FC Barcelona during one of the club’s most successful periods. The iconic MEYBA kits adorned legendary players such as Diego Maradona, Pep Guardiola and Gary Lineker and the brand has led the current explosion of football fashion and popular culture.
“MEYBA as a brand holds a special place for me personally. I absolutely treasured my 1985 Barcelona away kit, it seemed so exotic, so cool and I felt so special having something so different from the other kids growing up in Kent in the mid ‘80’s.”
fabric Director Cameron Leslie
So when the opportunity came up to collaborate with such a cult brand to produce our first ever fabric football shirt I jumped at the opportunity. To be able to create something completely bespoke with detailing so in keeping with what we believe fabric to be has been a real pleasure for the team involved. Thanks to MEYBA for letting us do what we wanted!”
“Some of my earliest clubbing memories were formed at legendary nights at fabric witnessing sets from the likes of Craig Richards and Daft Punk and losing myself in a community of like-minded rave purists. From the incredible sound system to the championing of underground talent fabric has always pushed boundaries and I’ve always wanted to work with this inspirational club so the opportunity to launch a bespoke football shirt to celebrate 25 years in the game is a career highlight for me”.
