MIAMI, FL – August 22, 2006- Perry Ellis International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PERY), master licensee for the PING® COLLECTION, debuted their Spring 2007 line in Miami this month.
A number of new styles (including an expanded women’s and boy’s line), featuring a variety PING® COLLECTION proprietary technological features, highlight the Spring 2007 Collection. Based on the incredibly positive response to the Fall 2006 luxury polyester styles, the PING® COLLECTION design team has added new styles to the key items and fashion product.
The Spring 2007 Collection features three fashion deliveries, which were inspired by the lush Florida Keys as follows:
Delivery One – Key Largo Collection – Inspired by the unspoiled hammock forest and miles of nature trails along the coast of Key Largo, Delivery One of the Spring 2007 PING® Collection features varying shades of greens that will whet your appetite for the relaxing lifestyle that the Florida Keys represent to many. From the golf course to the office, the Key Largo collection will help you dress your best.
Delivery Two – Key West Collection – From artists to authors and statesmen to tourists, Key West has been grabbing the attention of the world since the 1600’s. Near perfect weather, bountiful coral reefs, beautiful beaches and the most beautiful sunset in North America have all come together to inspire Delivery Two of the Spring 2007 PING® Collection line. The rich colors in this fashion delivery will have you daydreaming about sitting on the beach and watching the sunset over the clear blue waters of Key West.
Delivery Three – Islamorada Collection – Islamorada, one of the largest towns in the Florida Keys, takes its name from Spanish Explorers (literally, "islas moradas" – Spanish for purple isles) who viewed the coastline from the Atlantic hundreds of years ago. While you may not see many of the purple snails that gave the key its color, the Underwater Coral Gardens just off the coast of Islamorada is filled with bright colors that inspired Delivery Three of the 2007 Spring PING® Collection. Hues of green, blue and yellow are all represented in the final fashion delivery of this collection.
New Key Item and Fashion styles carry a MSRP ranging from $50.00 to $99.00 for this Collection. Visit www.pingcollection.com for more information on this exciting new line!
