Helmut Lang names Peter Do as new Creative Director

New York-based designer Peter Do will oversee Helmut Lang’s Men’s and Women’s collections, coming into effect May 15th, 2023. His debut collection, spring 2024, will be presented during New York Fashion Week later this year.

“Last year, when I was thinking about the next move in my career, one thing remained consistent even when everything else felt uncertain. I needed to continue doing my part in helping the city I love most regain its stature as the center of gravity for everyone who cares about radical thinking in fashion. During the most formative days of my own fashion education, no one embodied this spirit more definitively than Helmut Lang. As such, it is my deep honor to be entrusted with ushering in the next chapter of Helmut Lang’s legacy. I am thrilled to learn from the foundations this house stands on and to continue creating new, energetic clothes that inspire people to challenge their understanding of what is possible when it comes to expressing their individuality. Lastly, I’d like to thank Yanai-san, Kazumi Yanai, Dinesh Tandon, and the teams at Helmut Lang and Fast Retailing for trusting me with the opportunity of a lifetime…and I look forward to opening up the conversation with all of you soon.” – Peter Do via his Instagram
