Peter Som

Peter Som’s aesthetic of bold sophistication and eclectic elegance has brought a fresh point of view to the fashion world, and fans (including Michelle Obama) are clamoring for more. The San Francisco native honed his skills in the design room of legendary Bill Blass before debuting his namesake collection with a show at Bryant Park in 2001. The look of Som? Clean lines and figure flattering cuts in easy, romantic fabrics, a sensibility Som calls "curvilinear." Twice-nominated for the CFDA Perry Ellis Award for Emerging Talent, Som was among the ten semi-finalists in the first ever Vogue/CFDA Fashion Fund initiative.
