Who is Peter Do? The past year has seen the enigmatically chic New Yorker taking over our Instagram feeds with archival Céline separates (hello, that Winter 2012 coat), a stylish crew of creatives, and hints of an impending ready-to-wear debut. Launched this week, Do’s highly personal capsule reflects the unbounded intimacy of his digital visual diary. Demonstrating clear influences from his time at Phoebe Philo's Céline, the fifteen-item collection delves into the mysterious private life of a studiously reserved woman. Wabi-sabi embroidered t-shirts evoke the emotional warmth of a well-worn vintage find, pulled lovingly from the back of one’s closet. The fur ‘Pillowcase’ bag insinuates the secret rituals of creature comfort, with handcrafted ‘Heart Locket’ earrings harboring the energy of our most cherished possessions. While items such as the suggestive ‘Vessel’ necklace (fits standard cigarette) could easily stray into the realm of vulgarity, Do’s hands imbue even his most transgressive designs with heartfelt sincerity. We’re addicted.
