BILL BLASS SOLD

Runway / News

Once Peter Som left, the fashion house shuddered...



It’s hard to believe that a fashion house that was once making $500 million in sales in just a single year – and that was way back in the nineties – was just sold for a mere $10 million. However that is the case with the house in question -- Bill Blass. After the departure of creative director Peter Som, the house recently announced that it was closing its doors, leaving its employees, some of which had been with the house since inception, without severance just before the holidays.

I wear this rich black eyeliner every day. The pen has a great point to it and at night I just draw it on extra thick for a dramatic looking eye.
