The Show: Elie Tahari
The Theme: A metropolis with a Siberian winter backdrop
The Color Palette: Warm shades of “winterberry, midnight dream blue, and Carnally Hill green.”
The Signature, Standout Look: All of these very wearable garments are appealing to a variety of women who want to look polished while still wearing functional, practical clothing. The an all white modern winter landscape, quite appropriate for the weather we’ve been having, brought to life Tahari’s warm color palette, which showed both a men’s and women’s collection.
The Show: Perry Ellis by Duckie Brown
The Theme: Classic wear with a mix of modern-day prints
The Signature, Standout Look: For the fall season at Perry Ellis, expect warm hues such as mustards, greens, and maroons. Also noted were the combination of preppy, conservative elements paired with sportiet garments, such as bomber jackets, leather coats, and parkas, to give it a modern cool yet sophisticated update to the label. However, what really stood out from many of these runway looks was the approachable paisley print in subdued colors, found on jackets and trousers.

I draw attention to this close up shot not for the bag- but for the ring (from Diane von Furstenberg)! I recently got one from my friends at Sorrelli that is identical!

The best way to describe Perry Ellis’ Fall 2009 menswear presentation in the fewest amount of words? Clothes for the dream boyfriend. The Perry Ellis team designs for a guy with style and confidence, a guy who doesn’t back down from a pair of plaid pants or an argyle sweater (though not together of course) and more than that, totally rocks the look. Layering was key to the presentation; suit jackets were worn over vests while blazers were worn over round or v-neck sweaters, with both looks featuring crisp collared shirts as the base layer. Jeans and pants were perfectly tailored, patterned sweaters came in mature colors such as Venetian red, burnt sienna, tan, navy, black, and charcoal (which kept them from ever looking grandpa-ish), and loose-knit lounge sweaters looked comfortable but classy.
Perry Ellis is definitely taking the current economy into account—a new, black, polyurethane faux-leather jacket was a key part of the presentation. What amazed me about this jacket, besides the fact that it’s a mere $80 (a steal when compared to its real, $400 counterpart), is that it not only looks unbelievably real, it also feels as soft and pliable as real leather. I would love to throw this jacket on over evening wear on unpredictably chilly nights, which means I’ve got to find a Perry Ellis dream guy from which too steal it ASAP…
