Bill Blass F/W 08.09 NYC

Just got back from Bill Blass, and I'm a bit biased, but I thought this was a gorgeous collection from Peter Som. I was nearly in tears, because it was so classic yet still modern - a great take on the new and existing Blass customers.

Yes it is very classic and chic. Peter Som has had a history with Blass and knows the menswear influence that Blass used in the 1950s when he started. It's funny I actually thought this collection would feel stale. But, it oozes of money and class and yet does not feel old.

It was amazing to see, as I was able to snag a seat on front row. The details and fits were perfection, and the models felt very old school, but in a good way. I had unfortunately botched a setting on my camera and couldn't get the video to work, but the show was breathtaking up close.

He couldn't have done better really but it is still a dead house. I'd like to see a young woman dish out the dosh for this or care to wear this label. Move on.
