Lisa Perry changed up her venue this season, forgoing her typical store presentation for a private residence with a heck of a view of the Queensboro Bridge. "It's about the view, yes, but it's really about architecture," said Perry of Fall's linear, geometric shapes. Her point of reference is almost always the late sixties, and this season's A-line mini was color-blocked with zigzags, uneven crosshatch lines, or two-way stripes.
Perry brought another look from that era—a loose, smocked gown in emerald green—into her repertoire. "You could say it's vintage-y, but you could also say it's timeless." Paired with the right accessories, it will indeed feel modern. On the other hand, a vest made from pieced-together orange neoprene and gray jersey circles read too retro.
All in all, the cocktail-heavy collection nicely complemented the house-party feel of the presentation. Perry stepped out of mod and into a more psychedelic look with a pair of swirling-print trousers worn with a strappy tank made out of fluffy—and very unexpected—alpaca. These were true feel-good looks, meant for champagne glass clinking.
