Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 19, 2009, Perry Ellis International, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release relating to its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of SEC Form 8-K, such information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On March 18, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a "retail calendar" fiscal year commencing for fiscal year 2010. The retail calendar fiscal year divides a quarter into a series of 4-5-4 equal weeks. Each week begins on a Sunday and ends on the corresponding Saturday. The Company is not required to file a transition report for this change in fiscal year as the new fiscal year closely aligns with the Company's previous fiscal year. For example, the Company's fiscal 2010 commenced on February 1, 2009 and will end on January 30, 2010. This compares to the Company's most recent completed fiscal year, which commenced on February 1, 2008 and ended on January 31, 2009.
