Published: August 10, 2012

From growing up in a household filled with midcentury Marimekko and Eames pieces to visiting museums filled with Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, the fashion designer Lisa Perry has always been surrounded by the look of the decades that inspire her most: the colorful, bold, poppy aesthetic of the ’60s and ’70s. As an adult, she and her hedge-fund billionaire husband Richard Perry have cultivated an impressive pop art collection that reflects these influences.

When she began making custom dresses for her friends and acquaintances in 2006, Perry carried her affinity for the era into her designs, incorporating trapeze silhouettes, Mod shifts, and bright colors. The artists included in her personal collection even made their way into her pieces, starting with a Carl Fischer photograph of Warhol drowning in a can of Campbell’s tomato soup, which she emblazoned onto a shift dress in 2010. A Lichtenstein-inspired collection that featured 1964 comic book illustration “No Thank You” followed in 2011, and earlier this year Perry unveiled a Jeff Koons artist line.

 

Her circle of friends and fans includes art establishment heavy hitter Yvonne Force Villareal; W magazine editor Stefano Tonchi, who recently hosted a party for Perry; and former NBC “Today Show” host Ann Curry, who wore several of Perry’s custom creations during her tenure. We’ve spotted her eye-catching dresses in the pages of Vogue, on fashion blogs, and at numerous art-world functions from Art Basel Miami Beach to the Watermill Center Summer Benefit. Curious about the designer behind them, we asked Perry to participate in ARTINFO’s Tastemaker series. She gladly obliged, and told us about the pair of shoes she “lives in” and the decadent $230 moisturizing lotion she uses.
