The runway is littered with those who have tried and failed. The future of his business demands success on the runway. Peter Som's elegant, classic designs already stand out from magazine pages, and his clothes can be found in a growing number of specialty stores in the United States and Japan. I think in retail in general he has been named as a possible next Michael Kors, which I think Peter should be extremely flattered by. I hope he makes it.
Fashion is a highly competitive and expensive business.
With a new designer's finances hanging in the balance, any show could be his last. I knew doing it wouldn't be easy, and that promise has fulfilled itself. There are definitely a lot of things to juggle. I don't have a business partner. You have to be able to drop a telephone call, switch gears and go to your invoices, or go on your computer and look at your costings.
