Color on the Runway: Peter Som

I'm so happy that New York Fashion Week has finally arrived! Technology nowadays is quite miraculous in respect to exclusive events like Fashion Week. Seeing shows in person is definitely preferred, but in this era young fashionistas like myself can see pictures - or even see a live stream - of shows online. Luckily enough for those of us who don't attend Fashion Week (yet), we can follow along easily, photographs often being posted the same day as the runway show itself.
What does this mean for you, my reader? You can expect an extraordinary amount of Color on the Runway posts in the coming week. Get excited!

Now, on with the show. (Cute pun, right?)

Peter Som's Spring 2012 collection is characterized by an abundance of florals, bright colors, and crisply tailored pieces that are both fun and feminine, yet maintain a level of edgy sophistication. The looks have a cheerful, sunny vibe that will certainly put the wearer - or the observer - in a springtime mindset. The collection is perfect for the confident woman, bold yet chic, who requires an impeccably curated wardrobe. There were dresses appropriate for work or for play, and some that could go either way; there were sharp blazers and pantsuits in bright hues; and there was a selection of lightweight coats perfect for those rainy spring days.
Som stayed true to his feminine aesthetic, but was able to successfully present us with a set of looks that are fresh and innovative. Without straying away from his signature sophistication, he added a little more personality into this collection, which really brought it to life.
Is it springtime yet?
