Peter Som To Become Creative Director @ Tommy Hilfiger

 Tommy Hilfiger has been looking for a creative director for his brand for several years, and now, insiders are saying that he could be close to inking a deal with Peter Som, who is allegedly in talks to join Hilfiger on a consultancy basis. Som, who graduated from Connectecut College and Parsons School of Design, launched his first collection at Bryant Park in Spring 2001 after working at Bill Blass, Michael Kors and Calvin Klein. His refined, ladylike sensibilities and have earned a steady stream of rave reviews and landed him the job as creative director at Blass before the house was shuttered last year. A Vogue favorite, Som was among the 10 semi-finalists in the Vogue/CFDA fashion fund initiative in 2004. -Fashion Week Daily
