A native of San Francisco and born to parents who are both architects, designing is part of Peter Som’s psyche.

While an undergraduate at Connecticut College, he excelled in art and history. Deciding to continue his love for design, he enrolled at Parsons School of Design. After graduation, he trained under Bill Blass, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein.

Considered part of the New York’s new generation of young designers, in 1997, CFDA recognized Peter Som as a young talent in their scholarship competition.

He also won the annual Thimble Award from Lord and Taylor.

In 1999, Vogue noted him as “A Name To Watch,” after presenting his debut collection during the Fall 1999 season in New York.

Known for his effortless and luxurious creations, Peter Som believes in the purity of form, function and composition. And with those qualities in mind, the young designer creates classic American sportswear for today’s women.
