Michael Maccari may have grown up a local boy, but his life these days is anything but.
The Massapequa Park native is the new Creative Director at Perry Ellis, and debuted his collection last Thursday, Sept. 4 at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), which ran from Sept. 4-11. It has been three years since the label has shown at NYFW, and Maccari hopes to revitalize it.
The spring ’15 collection showed clean silhouettes from sporty to stylish, echoing inspirations from the late company founder, Perry Ellis whose aesthetic reflected creations joined from art and nature.
Though fashion around the world is known for a dominating female presence, Maccari thinks that men are experimenting a little more in regards to what they wear and caring about how clothes not only look, but how they feel. Having worked everywhere from Polo Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani to J.Crew and Calvin Klein, we think Maccari knows what he’s talking about.
