Peter Som
Peter Som's aesthetic of unstudied elegance and refined sexiness has brought a fresh point of view to modern American fashion. Upon completing his undergraduate education at Connecticut College with a degree in Art History and Art, he chose to continue his studies at Parsons School of Design. While at Parsons, he apprenticed with two of America's most revered designers — Michael Kors and Calvin Klein. After graduating, Peter honed his skills in the design room of the legendary Bill Blass. In 1997, he was recognized by the CFDA as a rising young talent in it's first-ever Scholarship Competition. Peter Som made his stellar debut at Seventh on Sixth in the Bryant Park tents with his Spring 2001 Collection. Since then, his clean, unfettered yet feminine clothes have been winning accolades from buyers and critics alike. In 2002, Peter was nominated for the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent; an award which he would be nominated for again in 2005. His collections have been included in editorial features in major fashion publications, including Vogue, W, Elle, Harper's Bazaar and InStyle. Cathy Horyn of the New York Times identified Peter as "one of the best young designers working today." His following includes a new generation of stylish celebrities and starlets, among them Scarlett Johansson, Claire Danes, Camilla Belle, Mandy Moore and Ginnifer Goodwin. In July 2007 Som announced his return to the house of Bill Blass, this time as creative director of the iconic American brand. In this role, he will oversee the company's entire women's collection, including all owned and licensed divisions. His first collection for Bill Blass is expected to be for pre-Fall 2008.
