Seriously, I think the woman was stalking me.

First, in line for the Marchesa presentation (pics in the next post, I promise), Wintour stopped, stood beside me, and pretended to talk with a friend. Clearly she just wanted to stand near a Boston Globe writer. Then, I'm taking pictures at Peter Som's presentation, and Anna and her body guard come barreling into me with a "Pardon me." Anna, there's no need to be afraid. I don't bite Vogue editors.

Here's the back of her bob as she scurried away

Ok, now on to Peter Som's spring/summer collection. It was a completely delightful homage to 1940s and 1950s British beach culture. Lots of wonderful colors and patterns, cute tea dresses and day dresses, and some very cool sunglasses. However, Som pulled it off in a very smart, modern manner.
