History

Perry Ellis founded his eponymous label in 1978 after working in retail and manufacturing. The brand gained prominence for introducing a slouchy silhouette that challenged the rigid structures of 1970s menswear. In the early 1990s, the house became a focal point of fashion history when creative director Marc Jacobs debuted a controversial grunge collection. This event marked a significant shift in high fashion's relationship with street culture and youth-oriented aesthetics.
