PEI’s Founder, George Feldenkreis, is recognized as one of the
world’s most successful Hispanic immigrants. After leaving Cuba in
the 1960s to create a better life for his family in the U.S., he
started his fashion empire in 1967. The company’s entrepreneurial
spirit continues to thrive as Oscar Feldenkreis leads three
generations of family tradition into the 21st century with $3.1
billion in global retail sales, 150 licenses worldwide, 17 sourcing
countries, 71 directly operated stores and 90+ licensed stores
around the world, and more than 2,500 associates located across the
globe. As the 50th anniversary momentum continues throughout this
milestone year, PEI will spearhead new philanthropic initiatives
and future-focused industry strategies. “As Perry Ellis
International embarks on our next half-century, we see the rapidly
changing retail landscape as an opportunity, not as a challenge,”
adds Oscar Feldenkreis. “This approach drives our fusion of
technology and product innovation, along with our focus on the
digital mindset. Over the past five decades, PEI has expanded on
its ability to steer its global vision and adapt to change,
focusing on growth while taking a transformative approach towards
