SPRING 2008: WWD
Bill Blass: Everyone has been wondering what spring would look like at Bill Blass since newly appointed designer Peter Som doesn't punch his time card until fall. The collection, actually, was lovely and feminine. The existing creative team, led by Prabal Gurung, who will stay on during Som's tenure, combed the archives and homed in on pretty party dresses. But updates were in order for modern girl who enjoys smatterings of patent spangles and artful clusters of hand-done rosettes to liven up her evenings out. Even the longer, more involved gowns, spun in light-as-air pink organza and lace, looked fresh -something the house Blass built very much needs. |
