And my issue is always the same: unrecognizable clothes. There’s nothing distinctive about his approach. It could be anybody.
Given his resume, it wasn’t difficult to stand out in NYFW…Oh, I wholeheartedly disagree. His first collections absolutely stood out from anything created last decade (they still look like the future) and were pretty recognizable, this is exactly why he became so big. He even created his own fabric, which he called 'Spacer' and collaborated with Zaha Hadid, one of the most recognizable architects in the world, who noticed his talent and his architectural fashion designs while she was still alive. That says, at the very least, something.
I had zero clue that Do worked for Céline when first discovered him on Tumblr and his designs spoke to me (as someone with an architectural background).But you are a hardcore Philophile lol. So I understand that you are rooting for everybody from there.
I'm a half Vietnamese/Russian myself and was born in Hanoi so i can confirm that none of this sh*t has anything to do with Ao Dai ( one of our traditional garments, the most well known )
A friend of Peter Do's told me that his design had been going downhill ever since he got a European investor and hired some PR guy who knew nothing about fashion design. He's been hanging out with the wrong people.
His early work was so great!! You immediately know it's his design. I hope he won't be the next Dion Lee. not lose himself...
My husband (who knows nothing about fashion) said that this exactly could be the reason. Ah venture capitalism, how not to love it! Oh and spot on regarding Dion Lee. I used to be a huge fan and I have no idea what happened to him in the past year with all that S&M inspired fashion.
Hanging out with Gen-Z club kids and riding with them the Y2K bandwagon, that's what happened with him. Isn't that kinda obvious?
I get what you are saying (even though I love minimalist Y2K fashion), but whoever he hangs out with is not telling him what he should design, it's the one handing out the money who makes the rules. It's the sad truth nowadays. This is the reason for the enshittification of everything including even websites or apps like Pinterest and others. Things are no longer produced to serve a costumer or even to efficiently provide a service, they are produced exclusively to increase profit (and the latter does not equal the former), even if it is counterintuitive and illogical.
