Description
Alabama native, Perry Varner, founder of Style Experience has worked with designers, models, agencies, professional athletes and celebrities on a myriad of fashion, entertainment, film and television projects in Alabama, Atlanta and New York City for nearly two decades. In 2011, he moved to NYC and rented a small apartment in Manhattan where he spent the next few years absorbing the essence of the culture, socializing with fashion insiders and writing about his observation of the American Fashion Industry. What he discovered was a beautifully complex relationship between people of color and fashion that expands generations. From the well-dressed leaders of the Civil Rights Movement to the soulful inspirations of Soul Train and Ebony Fashion Fair to countless unsung modern Black designers and models, all vied to experience this assimilated version of the American Dream. Varner's first novel, The Perfect Pair, is a fictional narrative that takes the reader on a stylishly insightful historical journey of self-discovery. It captures the spirit of the Eras of Black Style from the 1980's and the following three decades in a real life way. It's about faith, family, friendship, fear, fearlessness, fame, fashion, footwear and leaving your undeniable footprint. As always, Varner's goal is to educate, entertain, empower and inspire.
