Perry Ellis was one of the first American designers to take a different approach to fashion, an approach that clothing and design should be functional and fun. From his first clothing line in 1976 to starting his own brand, Perry Ellis International, in 1978, Ellis innovated the fashion industry with wit and fun, creating a style that became known as non-traditional and modern classic.
