Fresh Classics at Perry Ellis

A very fresh classic.

Hola a todos! El pasado miércoles tuve la grata sorpresa de ser invitado a conocer la nueva tienda Perry Ellis en el Mall Multiplaza Pacific. Una marca que sin duda es conocida a nivel mundial, sus diseños siempre guardan una estética limpia, digna de un hombre elegante y casual poseedor de una actitud fresca y relajada, un nuevo tipo de gentleman. 

La tienda es un reflejo de esa estética sin complicaciones con espacios fáciles de transitar y una iluminación que brinda mucha claridad sin ser caluroso, simplemente comodidad pura. La ropa se mueve en diferentes líneas, la nueva colección se inspiraba en la India con visibles estampados paisley y colores que pasaban por el azul, violeta, amarillo, celeste, blanco, negro y salmón, tonos hermosos y con una pizca de vibra exótica. Por otro lado, la sección de vestir se alzaba con piezas en tonos suaves y bellos sacos con un corte entre moderno y tradicional, las corbatas aportaban el tono de color para avivar una indumentaria clásica. 

Por último, la colección en lino, perfecta para nuestro clima, se armaba de piezas en tonos como amarillo, celeste, crema, blanco y beige, la frescura relajada del trópico en su máxima expresión.

Los invito a conocer la tienda junto a mis piezas favoritas y de paso aprender algunas cosas sobre la historia de Perry Ellis.

Hello everyone! Last wednesday I had the pleasant surprise of recieving an invitation to take a look at the new Perry Ellis store in Mall Multiplaza Pacific. A brand that´s undoubtedly known worldwide, its designs always keep a clean aesthetic, meant for an elegant and casual man who possesses a fresh and suave attitude, a new kind of gentleman.

The store is a reflection of this principles of easyness with comfortable walking space and excellent ligthing without it being to overpowering or hot, comfy all the way. The clothes move through three distinctive lines, the newest collection, which may also be for the youngest target, took its inspiration from India in which the paisley print was a standout and its colours ranged through hues as blue, violet, yellow, light blue, black, white and salmon, beautiful tones with a dash of the exotic vibe from the ancient country. On the other hand, the dress up section had softer tones in its pieces and a great assortment of suits with a fit that was part traditional, part modern, the best of both worlds, the ties took the color up a notch just to give that spice of life to a traditional attire.

Last but not least the linen collection, which is by all means perfect for our climate, had and army of pieces in tones like yellow, cerulean, nude, white and beige, a fine expression of the tropic´s relaxed freshness.
