Today I was browsing the Internet for new and exciting objects to review and I came upon a jewelry designer  I’d never heard of before.

This will be my first but certainly not the last collection I have seen by Peter Som. The good news for Peter Som is I have no previous gripes with his work and or brand. Peter Som’s inspiration for his 2009 resort collection is a passage through India. I’ve never been to India so it [...]

From the looks of it the Valentino 2009 resort collection is strong enough to stand on it’s own. The collection is ripe with contrast from the billowing sleeves and soft drape to the stiff rows of double buttons and repeated mandarin collar.
