Peter Do's fall 2022 collection is in. See every look:
Peter Do was single-minded backstage before his show. “I was a bit more selfish this season,” he began. “I wanted to do fashion that feels the most me, the most personal. I really like the suit. I like that it takes time to make, that you don’t need to buy many, and that when you find a good one it becomes your safe space. I want to be that for women.” Some might call Do’s approach counterintuitive. After all, we’ve spent the last two years getting very comfortable out of suits.
Do’s exacting nature came across in his palette, which he restricted to just four colors—black, white, camel, and gray. His cuts were more expressive. Many of the day suits were color-blocked in spirals, so they looked different front-to-back. For evening he showed a trio of monochrome three-piecers that combined trousers, waistcoats elongated to the ankles, and a double-face coat worn shrugged off the shoulders to expose bare arms and back.
In the end, it wasn’t as narrowly focused as Do advertised backstage. Breaking up the tailoring were long pleated skirts of the sort that we’ve seen elsewhere this week and a pair of minimal, slightly A-line long dresses. Slouchy ribbed sweaters with his tattoo logo down one sleeve were paired with cool wide-leg jeans with tuxedo stripes. The rip on one thigh was an unnecessary gesture. But Do is only on show two and the instinct was right: it doesn’t all have to be so serious.
