The Show: Lisa Perry Fall/Winter 2013
The Theme: Nostalgic style with modern applications
The Color Palette: Black and white; blue and black; and pink, purple, and blue are the primary color combinations.
The Inspiration: The geometric shapes, hypnotizing swirls, poka-dots and of course the iconic oversized dot is inspired by Perry’s love for everything ’60s, however, this upcoming collection, “mazes, twists, & doodles,” is also inspired by the doodles of Perry herself.
The vibrancy of this collection is expressed even before entering the shop, with a model posing as a mannequin in the front window of the Lisa Perry Madison Avenue store. Both the dresses and skirts are sculpted to have a structured look, while keeping with a modern feminine flare. What is truly lovely about the collection is its wearability factor and the reversible poka-dot to plaid jackets and dress that stole the show. All of these pieces can be worn for a fun, yet sophisticated, look while being transformed into a night piece.
P.S.–The makeup worn by the models mimicked the ’60s signature bold eye. The makeup was created by Gucci Westman, the Global Artistic Director for Revlon, and used: Revlon ColorStay 16H Eyeshadow Quad in Free Spirit from The Spring/Summer ’13 Collection by Gucci Westman, $7.49 (available April 2013) and Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black, $8.99

Clean lines and geometric shapes make up the artistry of the phenom that is Lisa Perry. For the passionate designer, mixing the worlds of fashion and art is not a surprise, but incorporating the unfamiliar worlds of Jupiter and Mars make for quite the playful wow factor.

Think cobalt blue, apple green, bubblegum pink, orange and white in mini sheath dresses and a standout drawstring jumper. More mod, minimal “half-moon” dresses and lambskin leather “peek-a-boo” dresses held their own against Perry’s first ever print: the galaxy star and moon print. However, I’m still thinking about that cobalt pongee pod coat (above).
Models moved effortlessly in the iconic clothing that felt both vintage and fresh, thanks to each dress having pockets — “Always!” as the designer told me — and pops of sequins. If this is what awaits in space, sign me up for NASA.
