"The [summer] hours are ticking away," said Peter Som last night at an impromptu cocktail in honor of his new position at Bill Blass. The designer, who has spent some of his downtime on Fire Island lately, will show his own Spring line in New York in early September while also beginning work on his first collection for the venerable American house for pre-fall. What is he most looking forward to at Blass? Diving into the archives—and having access to the label's workrooms. "The level of workmanship at Blass is in the tradition of the petites mains. For a small designer that's a luxury; it's something you usually have to go and find," he pointed out. Among those celebrating Som in Elana Posner's art-filled Tribeca loft were hostess Lauren duPont, fresh in from Maine in a cloud-print blouse by the designer; Derek Blasberg, recently back from Morocco and wearing his uncle's three-piece suit with sandals; and longtime Som supporter Roopal Patel. Also on hand: Thomas Florio, Olivia Chantecaille, and Tina Chai, who'll be styling four shows/presentations for Spring. "If you're in New York in August, you might as well be working," she said, adding, "There was no doubt in my mind that Peter's the perfect match for Blass."
