Peter Som Cobbles Together Fall 2009 Collection; Other Designers Not So Fortunate

>> Peter Som has had a tough past six months, between the fallout at Bill Blass and the pull out of his eponymous lines' investor.  Two weeks ago, he wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to pull anything together for Fashion Week, but he's succeeded in producing something for Fall 2009 — a capsule collection of 16 looks, which he will be showing at private appointments.Peter's not alone in his misfortune this season — for various other labels, big and small, Fall 2009 isn't panning out so well either.  Some, like Peter, have had to cancel their runway show in favor of showroom appointments (Sari Gueron) or lookbooks (Francis by Christian Francis Roth, who just tried to stage a comeback last season).  Some are just plain nixing their shows (Benjamin Cho, Hanii Y, Sue Stemp, Rubin Singer).

>> Peter Som has had a tough past six months, between the fallout at Bill Blass and the pull out of his eponymous lines' investor.  Two weeks ago, he wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to pull anything together for Fashion Week, but he's succeeded in producing something for Fall 2009 — a capsule collection of 16 looks, which he will be showing at private appointments.

Peter's not alone in his misfortune this season — for various other labels, big and small, Fall 2009 isn't panning out so well either.  Some, like Peter, have had to cancel their runway show in favor of showroom appointments (Sari Gueron) or lookbooks (Francis by Christian Francis Roth, who just tried to stage a comeback last season).  Some are just plain nixing their shows (Benjamin Cho, Hanii Y, Sue Stemp, Rubin Singer).

Poor newcomer Mikhael Kale had to cancel his show because his samples were damaged during shipping; he's remaking the collection for press and buyer appointments in two weeks' time.  Italian knitwear label Malo, designed by Alessandro Dell'Acqua, is totally missing in action, even though it always draws Carine Roitfeld and Franca Sozzani front row.  And Patrick Robinson has postponed Gap's presentation until April.  Here's to hoping the news only gets better from here.

Rubin Singer Cruises

Rubin Singer wants to take you away, so much so that we swore we were watching a cruise collection and not a spring summer runway.

Rubin Singer wants to take you away, so much so that we swore we were watching a cruise collection and not a spring summer runway. Nauticals were out in full force, cliché or not, and we liked it.

We appreciate his brand of eveningwear a great deal. Women seeking wearable dresses with a little something would do well to look here. Or women that want something crazy extravagant. His use of textiles may be one of our all time favorites.

A metallic stripped navy and platinum bargazine textile that graced several dress cum evening jackets were our personal favorites. The fabric has tremendous structure allowing the dresses to shape the bodies. The oceania silk chiffons were also a highlight, we see them looking good on just about any body. And if you REALLY want a sea faring dress a navy eel dress (yes eel) is probably going to turn heads at a nice yacht dinner.
