Peter Som's Appetite - NYTimes.com February 10, 2012, 12:22 pm Peter Som started his show this morning with a strong white story, before diving into the play of bright colors, kitty prints and flouncy ruffles for which he is known. The designer offered several options for winter whites, starting with the first look, a slim white skirt with sheer panels paired with a short white double-face jacket with broad rounded shoulders and a tightly belted waist. The linebacker-shoulder look was repeated throughout the collection on wrap coats and jackets. In his press notes, Mr. Som played up his inspiration of opposites, like masculine and feminine, hard and soft, textured and smooth. But I think we can learn a lot more about the designer psyche by following Mr. Som on Twitter. In the last three days, Mr. Som, who is a very good cook, has described a diet of "tasty treats from Bouchon Bakery," ice cream from Van Leeuwen, a grande skim latte, Coke Zero and a breakfast of scrambled eggs, grapefruit and orange slices (though "I really want a cinnamon bun," he wrote). I can't think of another designer who is so obsessed with food, and I wonder - only jokingly - if that might have played a part in his choice of colors like caramels, plums and creamy whites.
