Peter Som Fall 2012

For his fall ready-to-wear collection, designer Peter Som chose to add more color and less prints than previous collections. Drawing inspiration from Marlene Dietrich, John Chamberlain and Brancusi, Som’s line features tame colors like camel and white, with pops of magenta, green, and burgundy.

The collection’s beautiful dresses and jackets look extremely practical, complete with a variation of sleeve styles and cuts. Below-the-knee hemlines and a great balance of sheer fabrics, furs, and leathers provide a wide range of looks. Not to be overshadowed, the architectural lines and cuts on the clothing match the flowing, architectural hairstyles that the models wore in the show.

Keeping one of the trends at NYFW alive, Som pays homage to old Hollywood glamour, and it looks amazing.
