Perry Ellis New York Men’s Fashion Week Spring 2017

The first show of New York Fashion Week: Men’s, the fledgling fashion week the CFDA started a year ago, belonged to Perry Ellis on Monday morning and that’s just as well. Ellis is representative of the ambitions of this fashion week, stocked as it is with shows that speak to the best of American sportswear even if they don’t have the reach of, say, Ralph Lauren, which still shows its blue-chip men’s offering Purple Label during the more storied men’s fashion week in Milan. Designer Michael Maccari said his spring collection was a response to “the current social and political themes of globalization,” which sounds heady but really just means he took on activewear, playing with performance fabrics to create a frisky line-up of staples like track jackets, sweatshirts and sweatpants.
