Aussie fashion designer Alex Perry has been spotted doing the unthinkable – stepping out in public without his signature sunglasses.
The 61-year-old style icon was seen strutting his stuff in Sydney, looking every bit the opposite of his usual sleek and sophisticated self.
A Casual Affair
Perry, known for his impeccable suits and designer duds, opted for a more laid-back look, donning cargo pants and a crop top.
We’re not sure if the crop top was intentional or if it was a wardrobe malfunction, but either way, it was a far cry from his usual attire. Rounding out his casual ensemble were a ball cap, a cross-body bag, and a Coles shopping bag – talk about keeping it low-key!
A New Look for Alex Perry?
The fashion designer’s bold move has left fans stunned, with one even confessing they didn’t “recognise” him. Perry’s decision to ditch his signature sunglasses and suits might signal a new chapter in his fashion journey. Has the 61-year-old finally succumbed to the charms of Gen Z style?
From Humble Beginnings to Fashion Royalty
Perry is one of Australia’s most successful designers, with a client list that reads like a who’s who of Hollywood – Kim Kardashian, Sandra Bullock, and Rihanna, to name a few. But it wasn’t always this way. Perry started out with a small store in Kensington, Sydney, and later moved to Double Bay, where his designs quickly became iconic.
A Fashion Empire Born
In an interview with The Financial Review, Perry revealed that he started his fashion label with just 10 dresses on a rack from Ikea. “I had no strategy, literally none. I didn’t have any money to hire anybody, so I did everything myself,” he said. Fast forward to today, and Perry’s fashion empire has led to his becoming a celebrity in his own right, with TV gigs and red-carpet appearances aplenty.
Fitness and Wellness: The Secret to his Success?
Perry’s physique is as impressive as his fashion sense, and he’s spoken about the effort he puts into staying healthy. In an interview with SBS, he revealed that regular gym sessions keep him in “peak physical and mental condition.” The 61-year-old has gone through phases where he’s felt sick of the daily gym grind, but now he’s begun to enjoy it. “It makes me less stressed, and then I can go home and feel normal,” he said.
So, is this a one-off fashion faux pas or a sign of things to come from Alex Perry? Only time will tell. One thing’s for sure, though – the fashion world is eagerly waiting to see what’s next for this Aussie style icon.
