Lisa Perry’s knowledge about modern art is expansive—and it’s typically the running theme in her collections. For Spring 2017, she looked at work by Brice Marden. He has the minimalist aesthetic that Perry favors, but this time, her palette was less focused on primary colors. The move away from the label’s standard hues lent a softer look to the mod silhouettes. A loose, long gown came in a sweet shade of powder pink, while an eyelet style with a pretty bustline turned up in light yellow; though the brightest piece, a dandelion yellow vinyl raincoat with cropped sleeves and a slick moto collar, was one of the coolest standouts.

Perry also offered up some fail-safe black-and-white looks, like a shift with a trompe l’oeil collar that was fit for a modern-day Twiggy enthusiast. An A-line number had Perry’s signature circle pockets in a jolt of shocking pink that added a little pick-me-up to the LBD.

Perry has been adding knitwear to her collections, and her cheerful “Hello” sweaters have been doing very well. “We try to get away from doing the ‘Hello,’ but we can’t,” said Perry. “It’s back by popular demand,” though this time in more subdued colors. The knits are a strong point for Perry and something that will keep young street style–minded customers returning.
