FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR, PETER DO; CREATIVE DIRECTOR, HELMUT LANG

WHAT IS YOUR CALLING CARD?

Maybe not showing my face. People are so used to it now, and I don’t have to explain as much as I did in the beginning.

WHAT’S ONE BOOK, WORK OF ART, ALBUM, OR FILM THAT GOT YOU THROUGH AN IMPORTANT MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE?

On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong, because I feel seen and understood.

““I’m constantly growing and making mistakes along the way. I’m excited to get to know myself better as I practice day after day, season after season.””

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SURPRISED YOURSELF IN YOUR WORK?

Every day, honestly. I’m constantly growing and making mistakes along the way. I’m excited to get to know myself better as I practice day after day, season after season.

NAME AN INFLUENCE OF YOURS THAT MIGHT SURPRISE PEOPLE.

I get a lot of my inspiration from horror films. That’s usually what I watch when it comes to movies. I really enjoy going to the movies on the weekend when I’m
not working.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF IN YOUR INDUSTRY? LESS OF? 

I would like to see less hype and instant gratification. Good things take time to make, and good things are worth waiting for.
