backstage at new york men’s | perry ellis

With eye-popping shades of yellow, red, and cobalt blue, this season’s Perry Ellis asserts its heritage as an American classic, while throwing in some new tricks (headbands, shorts over stockings, and adorable stick-figure designs on leather accessories, to name a few). Michael Maccari’s refreshing take on suits with sandals kept the collection easygoing, while playful patterns amp up the “fun” factor. Phoebe Cheong captures the scene backstage.
