Original Penguin has always been famous for combining both classic and modern aesthetics, the traditional with the fashionable, so it comes as no shock that it has chosen a rock star known for his innate fashion sense as the face of its latest campaign.
Tyson Ritter, the front-man of All-American Rejects is well known for taking classic-cut shirts, and accessorizing them with simple fashion elements, giving them his own rock star twist. The result gives him something quite unique, yet unpretentious and creative.
Pablo de Echevverria , the senior vice president for marketing of Perry Ellis, mother company of Original Penguin has stated “he understands the Original Penguin style and wears it well”.
All-American rejects have sold over 10 million records all over the world. Their self-titled debut album in 2002 reached platinum in the US, while they’re second equally successful album Move Along produced the top hits It Ends Tonight and Dirty Little Secret.
