2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Peter Som
If I were to pick one collection from this Fashion Week that best represents Fab, it would be Peter Som. Seriously, I didn't want to leave this presentation; alas, I had to go to Marchesa . .
Cheap & Chic: Technicolor
There's a way to liven up the red carpet, then there's a way to blow it up. Michelle Monaghan blew through the premiere of Up in LA. Her technicolor Peter Som dress and cotton candy pink Casadei heels were perfect for this lighthearted event and look especially sweet against the balloon backdrop.
Fab Flash: Alexander Wang Drops Namesake Line For Bill Blass
Between losing Peter Som and its couture business, the house of Bill Blass endured major drama last year — but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The latest news indicates that Alexander Wang, our favorite designer in '08, has dropped his namesake line to be the new creative director at Bill Blass. Sources revealed Som — pictured left with Wang — was in uproar when he heard the news describing Wang as, "A backstabbing friend who would do anything for the right amount of money."

Look of the Day: Nature Queen
Truefashionista spent a day in nature but didn't sacrifice her love of fashion for it. The nature queen kept it clean in a white scoop-neck dress, finished with a brown belt and black booties. Her inspiration?
Trend Alert: Double Belt Belts
When you're wearing a double belt belt, do you have double the fun? Elle Macpherson proves my theory. She looks pretty happy riding along wearing her black patent double belt, not to mention pretty cute.
Trend Alert: Queens of Darkness
Let's get these important details out of the way: SJP in smoky McQueen, Eve in Brian Reyes, Elizabeth Banks in Stella McCartney. All daring. These Queens of Darkness feel so spooky season appropriate in their dark and stormy ensembles.
Celebrity Style: Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington and her new bangs attended the Courage in Journalism Awards in Beverly Hills last night. The actress stunned in a light gray Peter Som corset dress that hugged her in all the right places. But the real star of the night was her gorgeous black rhinestone necklace.
New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Peter Som
Versatility was the name of the game at Peter Som. The designer really made an effort to cater to all types of customers — with prints, solids, glitz, and minimalism. Women who aren't afraid to experiment with bold colors and prints will fall in love with the slew of flowy maxi dresses (I know Rachel Zoe, who was in the front row, did) as well as some mini ones in fuchsias and bright blues.
