Peter Som cancels New York Fashion Week show

By Kimberley Foster on January 8th, 2009

Deary me things don’t appear to be improving for Peter Som. He has just announced the cancellation of his New York Fashion Week show next month, following a split from Creative Design Studios, a division of Lord & Taylor LLC.

“We have realized that our strategic interests are no longer aligned and feel that this is the best direction for our company at this time,” said Elana Posner, co-owner and CEO of Peter Som Inc.

The news comes hot on the heels of Peter’s departure from Bill Blass, which has since closed its doors and filed for bankruptcy of its couture division.

The fashion week schedule is whittling away. Not good.

She joined costar Steve Carell on the red carpet for their new movie “Get Smart” last night.

You would think metallic fabric, sheer overlay, and feathers would all be a little too much. But the classic silhouette and perfect tailoring saves it and keeps it structured we think.

Minimal jewelry and slicked back hair keep the look modern in what could quickly become matronly.

Bill Blass has never been an edgy label but with Peter Som taking over from Michael Vollbracht for the first time I was eagerly anticipating this show. Som managed to work within the confines of classcism and wearability and come up with something that stayed true to the label’s origins.

The company of the late Gianfranco Ferré announced today that Swedish designer Lars Nilsson will become the new head designer. According to WWD, Ferré, owned by Italy’s IT Holding, presented its spring-summer 2008 collection in Milan Monday night, designed by an in-house team following Ferré’s death in June at age 62. Nilsson is expected to show his first collection in January during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan, followed by women’s wear in February.
