"Perry Ellis Spring 2009 Fashion Show in New York made me wish Spring was right around the corner again!!!!  Well my addiction is continuing to be fed...I got the amazing opportunity to sit third row at the Perry Ellis Spring 2009 show today and let me tell you John Crocco (creative director for the brand) didn&amp;#039;t disappoint! I gotta say this show totally rocked!!! All of the pieces were totally cool and casual and in true Perry Ellis fashion had an all-American quality to them. I couldn&amp;#039;t help but wish I was cruising on a sailboat while watching the show; probably because all the clothes had this really laid-back, yet stylish, quality to them. Gotta love that! My favorite piece during the show was this cool purple-ish leather jacket with a high-collar that was equal parts bad-ass and ultra-suave at the same time! If I see that jacket available in a brown color, it&amp;#039;s on like Donkey Kong cause I gotta get that!!! I&amp;#039;m a sucker for a hot jacket and trust me that&amp;#039;s the hottest one I&amp;#039;ve seen thus far!!! The color palette for the collection had a very refreshing and tranquil quality to it; lot&amp;#039;s of cool lavenders, soft blues and plenty of soft khaki tones. Though that may not seem like total fashion reinvention (I mean it&amp;#039;s a Spring collection, light colors are expected right?) but Crocco and his team have seriously concocted a collection of pieces that just about every man can find something they&amp;#039;d love to wear (or dress your man up in)! Which as we all know isn&amp;#039;t an easy feat to accomplish! And how does one end such a cool show? They concluded the showcase by having the models come out wearing letter-embroidered polos that spelled out Perry Ellis as they took their final walk down the runway; which was such a creative way to wrap up an already amazing show. The girl next to me and I just looked at each other and said &amp;quot;Wow, now that&amp;#039;s cool!&amp;quot;...much applause from this CosmoDude! Peace out, CosmoDude Mike "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
