(NEW YORK) Stepping into the dark auditorium of Parson’s to celebrate the release of Rizzoli’s Perry Ellis: An American Original, somehow we felt like we were transported back to the Eighties. The dark room was dotted with nearly 70 Perry Ellis outfits, each of which was donated for the evening from their perspective owners, as there is no official archive for the brand. The pictorial tome, penned by Jeffrey Banks, Erica Lennard and Doria de la Chapelle was a celebration of the designer’s life, from start to sudden end in 1986 and was celebrated last night with help from the CFDA and Parsons the New School for Design.
