Peter Som Collection
September 8, 2008
Peter Som RTW Spring 2009
The usually prim and proper Som girl let her hair down for spring, sporting long and loose shapes and hiked-up hems, which suggested the designer is casting a net beyond his uptown fan base. Som had a bit of a rough summer, with reports that he was leaving his post at Bill Blass followed by assurances he would stay, so perhaps this collection was a way to show his versatility. And it worked: There were beachy sundresses in azure silk seersucker, rompers and slim skirts with ruched, peekaboo slits up the backs. This was a jaunty lineup, with flowing sleeves and billowy, wide-legged trousers. Som loyalists needn’t worry, though — he tossed in a few jewel-toned, constructed pieces, such as a bright red sheath with beading along the bodice that was red-carpet worthy.
