Peter Som has the uncanny ability to simplify an outfit while emphasizing one essential part of the look. Whether it is the shoes, belt, silhouette, or the pattern, Som effortlessly creates pieces that nicely complement the focal point of the outfit.
The outfits consisted of mostly resort-wear clothing, such as cocktail dresses and light shorts and skirts. Som mixed textures such as organza, tweed, and linen to create pretty looks without becoming stiff. The color scheme of the collection consisted of all shades of oceanic blue, light tan, sheer crimson, and blush-toned peach that worked together to create a blithe ambiance throughout the collection.
The collection started off with light beige spring dresses accentuated with belts and hints of light blue. As the neutral color scheme remained dominant in the first portion of the show, Som presented light-weight dresses and skirts that were strikingly blue and coral, reminiscent of colors found in the coral reefs of the ocean. The show concluded with black floral print on the feminine frocks that were innocently romantic while retaining an air of sophistication, true to Som’s nature.
