The cooperation includes product collaboration, which is expected to launch in the summer 2024, in addition to serving as an ambassador for the company. Tua and Perry Ellis are collaborating closely throughout the creative process to convey a multi-layered tale that is both genuine to his origin and reflective of the brand’s current sensibility. According to a press release, the collection “emulates the lush mountains, oceanic horizons, and the bright florals and textual foliage of the islands” by using elements like soil and water as inspiration and as a platform for creativity.

“This is a fun project for me. I appreciate the versatility, optimism and inclusion that Perry Ellis values through their designs and their business,” said Tua Tagovailoa. “I’m excited to be working so closely with the Perry Ellis team and to have the full support of an iconic American brand.”
“It was really important. Giving back to the community has always been a core value of mine, as well as the Tua Foundation. The biggest thing about it is not just designing clothes but using our platform to make a meaningful difference. That’s what allowed me to make a decision to do this with Perry Ellis.”

His collection’s goal is to draw inspiration from his cultural history while employing elements such as soil and water as vehicles for creativity. The collection will be inspired by the islands’ lush mountains, marine vistas, colourful blooms, and textural greenery.
Tagovailoa’s Dolphins are 3-0 on the season, breaking many records in their most recent 70-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. Despite his success on the field, he is committed to making a difference off the field. The collaboration with Perry Ellis demonstrates his versatility and ingenuity outside of sports.
