Perry Ellis’s bold use of color blocking references Sonia Delaunay’s Orphism, and he mirrored its energy in the oversized cut of this tunic and skirt. Although the long line alludes to the 1910s silhouettes Delaunay wore in her youth, Vogue extolled the freshness of the relaxed, yet sophisticated shapes as the season’s stand out sportswear.
