Patrick Robinson who in his second season as head of design for Perry Ellis, had one of the most satisfying and fresh takes of the season. He translated the pervading mood and feeling in a manner that remained youthful and contemporary, and never looked artificial, pretentious, or overly forced- which is no small feat. Oh, and did I leave out the part about the easy on the pocketbook price tags? That cannot be underestimated these days. Like his first show back in September, he used a lineup of 25 male and female models instead of a traditional runway show, highlights of which included jewel trimmed sweaters, faux fur muffs, stoles, and vests (that surprisingly resembled looked like the real thing), distinctively patterned houndstooth and tweed coats, and one pretty fabulous shrunken zip front leather bomber jacket paired with pencil skirt. Almost everything was accessorized with narrow rhinestone belts and sparkly vintage pins, and nude legs with pointy-toed Sabrina heeled pumps finished it off perfectly.
