The rise of Perry Ellis

Perry Edwin Ellis was born in Portsmouth, Virginia, on March 3, 1940, as the only child of Edwin and Winifred Rountree Ellis. His father owned a fuel company which enabled the family to live a comfortable middle-class life. Perry studied at the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia, and graduated with a degree in business administration in 1961. He enlisted in the United States Coast Guard reserve to avoid the military draft and after six months he enrolled at New York University, from which he graduated with a master's degree in retailing in 1963.

He then started out in department store retailing in the Richmond, Virginia area to gain experience in the fashion industry as a buyer and merchandiser at the department store Miller & Rhoads. While there, he was co-founder of a Richmond retail shop A Sunny Day. He later joined the sportswear company John Meyer in New York. In the mid-1970s, eventually, he was approached by his then employer, The Vera Companies, famous for their polyester double-knit pantsuits, to design a fashion collection for them. Soon after that, Ellis presented his first women's sportswear line, called Portfolio, in November 1976.

Praised by critics as the ideal American sportswear designer of the time and loved by female consumers for his clean-cut yet casual style, Ellis, together with The Vera Companies' parent company, founded his own fashion house, Perry Ellis International, in 1978. He opened his showroom on New York's fashionable Seventh Avenue. As the company's chairman and head designer he later developed Perry Ellis Menswear Collection — widely successful, and marked by "non-traditional, modern classics". Step by step, he added shoes, accessories, furs and perfume that all bore his name. It became his trademark to skip down the runway at the end of his fashion shows.

In early 1986, Robert L.

After Ellis' not unexpected death in May 1986, McDonald announced that under the terms of Ellis' will he had full control of the company in trust for Ellis' heirs. "Perry wanted us to continue, of course", he then said of the fashion house's future. McDonald successfully guided the company through setbacks and challenges in the years to come. Recommended to McDonald by the fashion director of Bloomingdale's at that time, the young designer Marc Jacobs, a Parsons graduate who would start his own label in 1993 and become head designer of Louis Vuitton in Paris in 1997, designed for the house of Perry Ellis from 1988 to 1993. 1986 (MCMLXXXVI) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Since then, the company has changed hands several times. In 1986, Manhattan Industries, the parent of The Vera Companies (the owner of Perry Ellis), was sold to Salant, a licensee of Perry Ellis. From them, Perry Ellis was acquired by Supreme Inc., a Miami-based textile concern, in 1999. Supreme was then renamed Perry Ellis International. In 2003, in turn, Perry Ellis International acquired Salant. The corporation has since then acquired various other textile companies, such as Original Penguin and golf brand Ping Collection, among many others. The company, eventually, was transformed to a complete licensing and marketing firm for the Perry Ellis name. The women's collections had been discontinued in the late 1990s.

Perry Ellis fell seriously ill during the mid-1980s. Initially, it was not said what he was suffering from although he had been treated for hepatitis in a previous year. At the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) annual awards ceremony in January of 1986 he had to be accompanied to the podium by an aide to receive his award. On May 8 of that year, Ellis was not able to perform his traditional skip down the runway anymore and, looking shockingly gaunt and frail, had to be supported by two of his employees when he briefly appeared at the end of the runway. It was to be his last fashion show and he received standing ovations for it. Immediately after the show, he was admitted to New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center where he fell into a coma and died two weeks later of viral encephalitis, an AIDS-related disease, on May 30, 1986. A memorial was held at the New York Ethical Culture Society on June 12. Perry Ellis was dead at 46 and one of the first prominent American figures to succumb to AIDS.

In early 2003, Public Clothing Company, a New York fashion manufacturer, acquired the license for women's sportswear from Perry Ellis and relaunched the label on the New York runways. Patrick Robinson, a Parsons graduate and former Giorgio Armani Le Collezioni and Anne Klein designer, was appointed Creative Director to produce a moderately priced collection for Public Clothing Company and a higher-priced collection for Perry Ellis International. His Spring 2005 collection was critically acclaimed and still, it was decided that the line be not produced for profitability reasons. A previous midscale line by Robinson had not sold well. Robinson disappointedly left his post in December 2004 for French fashion house Puig and was made creative director at Paco Rabanne in 2005. There is no high-end womenswear line currently being made at Perry Ellis. In 2003, Jerry Kaye became creative director for the high-end Perry Ellis Signature menswear line. The designer has worked with Perry Ellis for more than ten years. However, the men's Signature line was incorporated into the regular men's collection line with the Spring 2006 offering.

Already in mid-2006 struggling fragrance producer Parlux had tried to sell the license to Victory International (USA), LLC, a New Jersey fragrance manufacturer, for $140m in order to raise funds but the deal was vetoed by Perry Ellis management and also led to uproar among Parlux shareholders [3].

In late January 2007, Perry Ellis awarded the cosmetics license to Miami-based Falic Group, a subsidiary of Duty Free America that owns French fashion brand Christian Lacroix as well as other cosmetic companies and "is controlled by three American brothers of Russian and Israeli descent" [4], in a $63m cash transaction - just as much as Perry Ellis had paid to buy its license from Parlux.
