PERRY ELLIS DROPS LATEST ‘AMERICA’ COLLECTION

by Stephen Garner

Perry Ellis International has dropped the latest edition of the brand’s archive collection, Perry Ellis America, with select pieces available exclusively at Urban Outfitters.

Capsule 3, comprised of 35 fall seasonal reissue pieces from the iconic ‘90s assortment, is a curated mix of reissued and updated interpretations of original designs, with new fabrications in nylon and canvas weaves, additional cotton fleece offerings, and added knitwear. The color scheme is also a departure from previous capsules, with classic tones of navy, red, hunter, and gold dominating the palette.

Two new nylon tracksuits, a continued staple of the Perry Ellis America collection, make their debut in Capsule 3. One is a reinterpreted style in a new gold, navy, and red colorway, while the other is a standard reissue of an original bright blue tracksuit with red accents.

Additional standout pieces include a color block rugby in red and navy, a color block hoodie with a mash-up of original Perry Ellis America logos, and a slew of added knitwear pieces including logo-heavy tees, a pique blocked polo, and a fleece quarter-zip.

The Perry Ellis America collection continues to evolve with the latest capsule making its debut partnership with Urban Outfitters. Pieces including a washed denim trucker jacket, denim jeans, and a popover fleece will be at select Urban Outfitters retail locations in the U.S. and at urbanoutfitters.com, with additional styles available at perryellisamerica.com.

“We are excited to be partnering with Urban Outfitters for the Capsule 3 debut of Perry Ellis America,” said Michael Maccari, creative director of Perry Ellis. “This Fall seasonal capsule hones in on our brand’s 90’s legacy; the synergy with Urban Outfitters makes it an ideal retail partner for us to reach a new audience.”

Perry Ellis America Capsule 3, which retails between $40 and $175, is now available.
