Lexx Perry Clothing Line Interview:

BLU: Tell me how you got started?
LP: I was 15 and wanted to wear the big man linen suits and couldn’t afford it, so I saw some wicked linen in a fabric store on Flatbush and decided to mek my own suit. Suit did tuff. I wore it on the plane to Jamaica, and everyone thought I was an artist. Then I started to make linen visors for friends in high school. A couple years later I linked up with the Ouch CREW (the hottest Fashion Crew in the History of dancehall). They schooled me on how to finish a product and make a winning product. Then I attended FIT to brush up on my technical skills. I realized I developed a winning product that reflected my view of fashion. So I took a risk and invested a lot of money into developing my brand.

BLU: What is your most important accomplishment to date?
LP: I have made some outstanding accomplishments, my most important is that I now work for myself.

BLU: When did you decide on this career?
LP: I decided on this career definitely about 8 years ago after other prospects weren’t as profitable.

BLU: I want to ask you this, but don't know how to word it, but basically is it harder being of Caribbean heritage and being in fashion. : We tend to associate fashion with gay unfortunately. How do you get people to look past all of that and just let line sell it self?
LP: Nobody seems to be concerned with those stereotypes when they deal with me. The realm of fashion that I am in which is "STREETWEAR" seems straight to me. When I am in Jamaica or in a dance I rarely run into those arguments. Everyone love di clothes. So that is never a wall or barrier in business for me.

BLU: What motivates you? How do you come up with your ideas? Very fly.
LP: I have the passion for this art. That is my ultimate motivation. But other motives are the money, the respect, and the lights, camera, action, and the people I rub shoulders with. The finer things in life. I love that shit.

BLU: I see celebrities rocking the line hard...who else wears the line that you haven't photographed?
LP: Other celebrities that I haven’t photographed are Ciara, Olivia, Heather Hunter, the winner Asia of Pussycat Dolls, Erica Alexander. I can’t even remember all of them. But you can look out for others like Fabulous, Young Joc, Young Jeezy, Kanye West, Chris Brown; they will be rocking my brand for 2008

BLU: What is Lexx Perry's long-range objective?
LP: Lexx Perry's objective is to promote good vibes and allow people to feel special and VIP. There are too many fashion victims out there. Also I’m trying to build an empire. I want to see my Logo on the top of a tall building in Manhattan. Knowing that people are having the time of there lives for the moment they are rocking my gear.

BLU: You always here about ppl making and the terrible jobs they had prior to, have you had any terrible jobs?
LP: I haven’t had any terrible jobs.

BLU: Why should I wear Lexx Perry clothing?
LP: You should wear Lexx Perry because it’s the hottest new Clothing line. Every designer always designs bringing us back to the 80's and 70's. I’m tired of that. They have been bringing shit back since I was born. Its time for something new. People have never seen anything like mine before. It’s absolutely original and it’s worth the money. I have a new material that I developed and everything is heavily adorned with swarovski crystals in Tiffany settings. I have premium denim for women and Men. My hoodies have 600-800 Crystals on it. It’s not over priced like other premium goods. My clothes are one of the finer things in life. It makes you feel euphoric when people see you in it and admire you. Red Monkey charge $800 for some embroidered pocket. Have you seen a Lexx Perry pocket in real life? My pockets look like money. When you wear my clothes, you can literally walk beside the stars and people will think you are one, as well. I get asked which celebrity I am, literally all over the world

BLU: Do you plan on starting a plus-size or kid line?
LP: I do intend of extending my women’s sizes to plus size. I do currently have women’s luxury stretch skinny fits from waist 26 to 34. I am also developing ideas, as well.

BLU: Anything you want to say or add?
LP: Id like to thank you for taking the time out for doing this interview with me, and id just like everyone to know that I don’t play with fashion. If you want some serious wear, you need to link lexx.... [hit me up] http:// www.lexxperry.com
