Michael Maccari, the recently appointed Creative Director of Perry Ellis has fused modern design methods with mid-twentieth century active wear to create a “Verry Perry” Fall 2015 Collection.

The classic menswear looks were updated to the new century with bold fabric choices, modern prints and a post-modern color palette.
Don’t let the crappy cold weather get you down, we have some images that will surely have you daydreaming about beach weather. These colorful photos are courtesy of Original Penguin‘s latest campaign for Spring/Summer which was shot by Justin Chung and styled by Grant Woolhead. The campaign derives its inspirations from a late 1950s Miami street vibe and showcases chromatic, bright colors alongside subtle pastels and tropical patterns. For the shoot, Original Penguin used Miami’s iconic Ocean Drive as the backdrop for their tropical printed, colorful collection. With the refined updates of past styles, such as their new take on the classic polos, geo-printed knits and seersucker suits, this collection nods at a man who gives off sophisticated, easy style cues, fitting the cool ocean backdrop for Miami’s hot summer days.

My brother Reginald and I (Stanley) were facing a similar faith; our Miami-based Construction business was suddenly going broke. We had to close up shop. The question surfaced: What is our next step?

Dockers, a brand that has been putting men and women alike into khaki pants for the past 25 years, put hundreds of men and women into their pants last night. In Manhattan, Right off the Hudson River, fittingly so, Dockers launched their new style of men’s khaki pants. The collection entitled “Alpha” suggest that men, the forgotten species in fashion, like to wear pants that show off their figure too.
