Peter Do - Designer

[Phuel]

^^^ Only available at his pop up at Sommwhere. Whoever’s advised him to do these pop up shops to grasps relevancy isn’t doing any favours for his brand; It may work for a fashion legend as the Comme, but Peter’s label is no Comme. And he’s no shiny and new young brand from the streets, so the optics of returning to the streets for indie creds after corporate shortcomings just doesn’t resonate as well as he may think. Why is he speaking in Vietnamese while selling to New Yorkers? Is this targeted towards his Vietnamese customers?? But they need to come get it in the US since none of these are even available online???

(…More overwrought dangling strings/ribbons/straps…)

His clothing is flat and completely overdesigned. I also dont get the facemask while talking on a video, we can barely hear him mumbling.
As for lang, it pains my heart to see this house in this shape, or lack of shape. They should either close it down or do an archive house, where they just re edition collections and perfums. They could even reuse campaigns, heck the whole store design could be re editioned. We live in nostalgic times why not re edition everything. Down to his amazing soundtracks. We don’t need no sexless designer who doesn’t understand the culture behind Helmut lang.

^^^ Helmut Lang archival re-edition line isn't going o profit as well as some may be convinced of its goldmine potential, frankly. Gaultier attempted this to an extent a few years ago for a few Seasons before retiring: offering his popular hits: Double-breasted pinstripe suitings; corsetry; tattoo-printed bodysuits and sheaths etc, and that seemed to have fizzled out quickly. And with Helmut having shredded his archive, the reality of authentically detailed and constructed archival re-editions is not a reality, instead giving off unpleasant knockoff whiffs, destined to disappoint.

The only ones that can save the lHelmut Lang label is Phoebe or Hedi (…and I’m not the slightest convinced that Phoebe can take on the menswear, since her only showing in that department is her ripping off Armani’s 90s suiting wholesale…). And they don’t seem to be desperate nor challenged at this point in their career to take on a brand that’s been bleeding out since Helmut left.

This feels like a party I’m not invited to and I’m actually okay with it.

He should have stayed on hiatus, no one needs nor asked for this.

This is the most asexual, lifeless, humorless thing I’ve seen. There’s more sex in a cos mohair sweater.

This is honestly embarrassing this took two years to develop LMAOOO. And given how they were trying to launch as some deeply thoughtful uniform then it’s just T by Alex Wang with the tags swapped out for his vibes. Who is funding this for him at this point he should be bankrupt with all his failed attempts at having his own brand. I don’t hate his past work but maybe some people are just meant to work under others and not have their own thing or be CD of a brand?

Definitely not liking what I'm seeing, but I do like the concept of 'modular dressing'. I think about an 11 year-old Rodebjer button-down transformable maxi dress I own and still wear, which can be both worn as a maxi dress, or unbottoned til the middle and tied back to be worn on top of pants, shorts, or skirts as a kind of maxi top or tunic. I love the idea of versatility, of being able to transform a staple piece you own into something else and its ability to be mixed-and-matched, whether it be by it becoming transformable, or wearing a shrug, bolero, cape, or anything else on top or under it, whether it be through buttons, zippers, tying, or whatever. I think that is the secret to a minimalist, yet versatile and playful wardrobe and hopefully the future of fashion.

Unfortunately, despite my extreme initial hope for the brand (I've been a follower since 2018 and have seen it as far back as 2014), Do has not proven much range or ironically versatility in the past years. Seeing his first couple of collections, you'd think there was much more creativity behind him.

Does anyone have a picture of him without the mask?

 

[jeanclaude]

So he got tired of copying Lang; and now he´s into Y-3...great...

 

[Cocteau Stone]

Wouldn’t you feel a tad embarrassed that after all this time and offers, nothing has fully stuck.

The only thing I remember from him was his complaint about Celine stealing his idea too obviously for a collection when he offered it as part of the design team. I think that’s where he should stay. Behind the scenes. He has little impact and even resonance (in New York might I add) to really be something. And he needs to be at peace with that.

^The styling and photo quality makes 10 years ago feel like 20…

He’s more of a foster son he won a 2 year graduate fellowship with LVMH to work at Celine whereas Rider was there from the beginning to the end and Daniel 1/3 of the way to the end

A Diffusion line is only effective if the main brand is successful. His mainline had a great start but got lost and stagnated as time progressed. T by AW was quite a success back then because AW made good collections a decade ago.

Also, this "All Black" uniform in fashion is incredibly pastiche. Do we really need another brand that caters to that?

As Anna Wintour would put it, "Virginia, Where's the colour?"

The power throuple at the gay club and Fire Island that make it clear you’re not welcome unless you got the GHB as the ketamine hasn’t been hitting the same anymore.

I would try to remove my conservative French takes on dressing regarding Daniel. I guess it’s not his Gym attire?

Turns out that the US were kinder to Michael than Peter.

Peter most memorable work since leaving Phoebe was the Banana Republic collaboration. He should just ask to Theory to lead their brand and stop whatever independent boring project he is into.
