Summary: Som is beloved by fashion editors & socialites for his impeccably chic, unstated silhouettes & colors that easily travel from uptown to downtown & across the Pond. A muted color palette of steel grey, dove grey, blush, pale yellow, and mint green dominated a collection of chic little dresses, trapeze chiffon babydolls, jersey tunics, and coats. Only a vintage floral print & a striking ruffled teal coat – that almost resembled a ruffled & puff-sleeved knee-length dress that had been sliced down center front – added hits of color. Gorgeous red carpet gowns in muted blush & blue hues were stunning.

Color Palette: steel & dove grey, milk chocolate, blush, pale yellow, mint green, pale pinstriped chiffon, vintage floral, bright teal

Textures & Details: trapeze chiffon babydolls belted only in the front & loose-swinging from the back; delicately pinstriped chiffon; ruffles, ¾ vintage-inspired structured jackets
