Peter Som may be one of the less talked about and sometimes forgotten designers; however, his collection was one of my favorite so far this season.  It was slightly more sophisticated than his usual work, but it seems as though this genre serves him well.  His collection was feminine with a slight 1940’s vibe and I love his peplum tops and sheer layered skirts.  There’s just enough downtown cool in the collection for the uptown girl. If I could, I would own every piece!

It’s that time again!!! New York Fashion Week…my favorite no contact sport!  And for those of you who think that it is not an athletic event have never witnessed the pain of model’s falling, editors struggling for the best seats, designers testing their stamina to stay up all night.  It’s so exciting!!!…the head bruises when at 6 foot gazelle hits the floor face first, the mangled feet from heels being shoved on and peeled off while being three sizes too small, but most of all the clothes darling, THE CLOTHES!…they are what all the fuss is about and why everyone goes crazy over pretty things.  So, just to highlight some of my favorites this season as the week takes off, we’ll start out with my alma mater of fashion, BCBG Max Azria, where I interned for a short while.  This season, their fall collection seemed to be a continuation of their previous seasons, expanding on color blocking, pleating details (it’s all about the pleats!), and flowy dresses.  The great thing about these looks is that they can carry you through spring as well, and we all love clothes that double duty.
