	Fall 2001 Ready To Wear - Bill Blass Fall 2001 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review
		When Bill Blass retired last year, Steven Slowik was handed the reigns and faced with a daunting Catch-22: Stay true to Blass’ consummately conservative roots but innovate enough to spark some precious fashion buzz.
		Slowik missed the target by a long shot in the single awkward and unflattering collection he designed at Blass, and was promptly shown the door.
		The core of Nilsson’s style is conservative enough to fit the Bill Blass image, with plush fabrics and familiar shapes, but the Swedish designer keeps it all looking current with minimal embellishments and sleek tailoring.

	Bill Blass Fall 2006 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Runway Review
		NEW YORK, February 7, 2006 – The Vadim wives who inspired last season's show were nowhere to be seen at Bill Blass today, but socialites young and old were on hand to watch Michael Vollbracht "channel," as he says, the spirit of the label's namesake.
		Vollbracht and Blass must have had a long conversation, because there were a lot of clothes (55 looks) on the runway.
		There were (way too literal) Tippi Hedren-style suits with ungainly belts, numerous coats (many in double-faced cashmere or shearling), a series of LBDs and, of course, event-friendly evening gowns (the best a red chiffon halter dress).
