Define the brand

“Perry Ellis the brand was born from Perry Ellis the man. A man who was forward-thinking and fresh. Not mired in tradition. Who believed fashion was fun, and should never be taken too seriously. Patterns, pops of color, new shapes and never-before-seen styles—he embraced it all, rewriting the rules and redefining American sportswear.”

For the relaunch the brand plans to keep the essence and personailty of Perry Ellis. They think that this is key for a successful relaunch as the brand wouldn’t be alive without his orginal image. The focus will be to create clothing that will empower women; something Ellis did himself. It is key the brand brings back the original key vaules; Fun, Forward thinking and Modern. The label thinks it is key that we keep the orginal brand logo as it has been around since the brand first started making it a part of the heritage of the brand. It is not old fashioned meaning it will also fit in with the modern values. Another important part of the brand DNA is that, the brand plans to obtain the materials Ellis used throughout his designs.

Social Media

The brand will have multiple social media channels. Such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. This will be for the English and American consumers.

Brand Stores/ Department store

Perry Ellis plan to have stores in New York and over America. This is because the US already know the brand and is a house hold name to them. However, as an entry point to the UK it will only be placed into Department stores such as Harrods and Selfridges. This way the brand can see how Perry Ellis works in another country. If the UK take to the idea of Perry Ellis it will then plan to open a store on Bond Street, one of Britain’s leading streets for luxury brands. •
