Things have been up in the air for American designer Peter Som since the announcement that he was leaving Bill Blass in October. Som was the women’s wear creative director at the legendary house. To add insult to injury, he did not stage a runway show last season, but rather held a showing in his showroom. Luckily, the designer’s future fashion prospects are looking up!
It is being reported that Som has just inked a licensing deal for his namesake line. The deal was signed with Milan-based clothing manufacturer Margon and New York showroom powerhouse ADC. Margon will manufacture the line while ADC showroom will be responsible for global distribution – both the manufacturer and the distributor will work in conjunction with Som. In addition, Som has hired legendary public relations agency KCD to manage the PR of his brand.
