made an emotional runway debut in New York. Set along the East River, with the city’s skyline providing the backdrop, the show reflected on ideas of home – Do’s roots are in Vietnam, but his brand’s home is in NYC. It was a momentous arrival which the Celine alum had been working towards for three years. This season, though, marks Do’s “most personal collection to date,” the designer writes in the show’s notes, stating, “I found my power in these garments.
Eschewing novelty for a granular attention to form and detail, the collection was crafted with the experience of the wearer in total focus. It was, the designer tells AnOther, an ode to the Peter Do woman. Here, in a conversation held in the run-up to his show, Do tells the story of his Autumn/Winter 2022 collection:“We held a runway show for the first time last season, and to be honest, we didn’t really know what we were doing.
“[With] my Spring/Summer 2022 show, I was feeling nostalgic about the past – where my parents came from and memories of us or us growing up in Vietnam. But this season, I named the collectionbecause I feel like it’s just the beginning for Peter Do building our house in New York. Last season felt like our coming out, but moving forward into 2022 we are saying, ‘This is the language of the Peter Do world.’ These pieces are, hopefully, more fashion-forward and special.
“This season I wanted to be a little bit selfish because camel, grey, black and white are my favourite colours. When I think about it like a classic wardrobe, it’s these colours, and it’s a palette you can wear all the time. We usually do 46 looks, but this season we edited down to 36 because I took out the ten looks that I feel like I usually just put in for sales. I just really wanted the message to be more focussed.
“You don’t have to be constantly seeking out newness when you buy a thing that you really love, it always feels like it’s there for you. That’s alway my philosophy when I design: that things have to be special but also have to serve a purpose. I don’t like to make things that you will wear once, I love an outfit repeater. I think the PD woman is definitely an outfit repeater. She’s wearing things to death. And I love that.
