WWD:

The Perry Ellis ads, shot by Bruce Weber and art-directed by Sam Shahid, feature relative newcomer Eric Watson of the Notorious agency in Los Angeles.

Weber found the 23-year-old California native with a shaved head four days before the shoot. Susan Malinowski, senior vice- president of marketing at Perry Ellis International, says that Watson "has a stopping power and a memorability. He's unusual-looking in a great way. He's strong and masculine and he connects very well with the audience."

Malinowski adds that when Perry Ellis unveiled the campaign for its licensees, "it was a little bit of a shock to them." Now, though, "they think he's terrific." Shahid says that finding Watson was essential in "trying to break through the clutter" of images in the marketplace.
