With 1950s beehives, statement lips, cuffed cigarette pants and cinched in shapely shifts Peter Som’s retro references to Cindy Sherman’s early Untitled Film Stills were ripe in his A/W11 collection shown on day two of New York fashion week. Models strode out in shoe collaborator Charlotte Dellal’s kitten heels that came in shocking neons and vibrant hues. Garments were attractively tailored with well cut two-piece suits, trench coats and interesting, yet safe, prints making way for an entirely wearable collection.
