Lisa Perry is a dynamic New York based fashion, accessories and
lifestyle brand. Lisa started the business in late 2006 in
response to the
reaction she received to her personal vintage
collection of couture fashion from the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Lisa’s vision was to create a modern and timeless
collection inspired by this influential era. Her design philosophy is led
by a unique aesthetic composed of clean lines,
geometric shapes, bold colors and minimalism.
Lisa’s love of fashion and interiors blossomed during her upbringing
in Chicago. Surrounded by great design, intense color and
exquisite art, Lisa quickly developed her eye for style. Her mother,
Bacine, introduced her to effortless chic
silhouettes such as the caftan, as her cool Beatnik father,
Leonard, created drip paintings in the basement of their home.
Bacine and Leonard’s home was decorated with Sixties
modernist essentials: beautiful Saarinen and Eames furniture and
Marimekko fabrics.
In addition, the family owned a
successful textile company which also supported the
development of Lisa’s sense of style. She later attended the
Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where she
immersed herself in studies of textiles, color theory, as well as
fashion and art.
Lisa first began designing clothing in October 2006. The first sales
were out of her second-floor loft on West Broadway in SoHo, where
Lisa produced custom dresses for friends and
acquaintances with a local couturier. In Spring 2007, Lisa launched
her wholesale business with a one-year exclusive at Jeffrey New
York, in Manhattan’s Meatpacking district. In 2008, Lisa Perry’s
wholesale distribution expanded to Bergdorf Goodman,
Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Harrod’s in London.
Today, Lisa has grown her business into a lifestyle brand which
includes clothing, accessories, children’s wear, shoes and home
products as well as special edition pieces using works by artists Roy
Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. The flagship store is located on
Madison Avenue in New York City, which has now also become
home to the Lisa Perry design studio. |
