Every year, Fashion Week highlights both the established icons and the emerging future stars of the fashion world. We had the chance to check out designers on the cusp of something great. CNW will spotlight those we believe you should keep an eye on, and until your budget can afford their wares, we’ve selected some styles you can mimic to stay stylish.
We recognize that not everyone sews or wants to, unlike my mother’s generation, who often did. Back then, Vogue produced patterns from top designers, and people would create their own Vogue-inspired collections. My, my, how times have changed! So, here’s my suggestion: if you have a creative knack, take inspiration from the looks we’ve selected, pay attention to the details, and pull together a style that captures the essence of our spotlight designer, Peter Do.
Background
Born in Biên Hòa, Do grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia from the age of 14. He studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, where he won the inaugural LVMH Graduate Prize in 2014.
Label
Do launched his eponymous label in 2018 and made his New York Fashion Week debut in 2021. Known for clean tailoring, a focus on community, and support for New York's garment district, Do’s designs are described as "chic essentialism" and a "modern uniform."
Collaborations
After graduating from FIT, Do worked in Céline's ready-to-wear atelier and later at Derek Lam. In May 2023, he was appointed creative director of Helmut Lang.
