Celeb designer Peter Som is loved by Hollywood A-listers like Scarlett Johansson, Claire Danes, Leighton Meester and Olivia Palermo. Now, his designs can be a regular in your closet, too, and at a teeny-tiny fraction of the price that his pieces usually go for. Som is the latest high-end designer to team with Kohl’s for an exclusive capsule collection and we hear his breezy, colorful dresses, blouses and skirts are set to debut at Kohl’s in April. The collection will range in price from $36 to $88. Plus, you’ll earn Cash Back and other great deals when you shop online at Kohl’s with ShopAtHome.com.

We like the way Kohl’s sums up Som’s designs: “Eclectic elegance.” The designer is known for feminine details — lace, flounces, figure-flattering cuts. He’s following other high end designers in Kohl’s DesignNation project that sends the designers to a country of their choice, allowing them to draw inspiration from the scenery. Those who have gone before him include: designers Narcisco Rodriguez, Derek Lam and Catherine Malandrino, who have dreamed up designs using Istanbul, Brazil and France as their muses.

For his collection, Som traveled to sunny St. Barths and drew tropical inspiration, incorporating the island style in an abstract way. His capsule collection strikes that perfect balance of summery and sophisticated. If blue is your power color, this collection is for you — as Som plays with various shades of the cool color in his design palette.

Som says this about his collection: ““The island of St. Barths is a favorite vacation spot of mine. Full of luxury and serenity, with chic cottages lining the harbor and colorful designer boutiques, the island has a French charm that floats throughout the city.”

A few of our faves from the lookbook include a moto vest that’s got black and white striped paneling that plays peek-a-book when popped open, elastic cuff soft pants and a graphic tank with a whimsical pineapple design. You’ll also find bermuda shorts, a lightweight v-neck sweatshirt,maxi dresses and v-neck summer dresses in the collection.

Another standout pice: The haltered maxi dress (pictured) for $78 and available in sizes xxs through xxl as well as the
