The clothes were easy, oversized, slouchy, but classic at heart and they caused a sensation. Ellis, who once told the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e that he \"always made a determined effort to do something different,\" did just that, creating a series of signature looks such as his \"dimple\" sleeves and single-cabled sweaters that set his clothes apart from everyone else's. Nearly three decades after his untimely death, the legacy of the designer Ellis is still very much felt: \u003cb\u003ePERRY ELLIS: An American Original\u003c\/b\u003e is the first complete monograph to celebrate his exceptional career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe beautifully illustrated book showcases Ellis's designs through a combination of photography and sketches, providing an insightful look at each season of his career, from 1976 to 1986, offering readers unique access to editorial and ad campaign photographs from the archives of brilliant photographer Erica Lennard, with whom Ellis worked almost exclusively.
