Perry Ellis’ Spring 2012 Fashion show was accompanied with a series of monotonous beeps that read as the elevator music of fashion. Monotonous is how I would describe the majority of the show’s apparel as well. The classically handsome male models wore tan suits throughout the show. Preppy basics such as cotton shorts and cardigans were a staple. Brilliant yellow pants, shorts and sweaters were seen near the end of his show, and a salmon cardigan was even thrown into the mix. An all-white suit was seen as well.

Overall, the show seemed more like a storefront than a production. So here’s to Perry Ellis: classy, classic, safe.
