A MAGAZINE CURATED BY PETER DO

A Magazine Curated By Peter Do, 2023.

The 26th issue has been curated by Peter Do, the founder of his eponymous label and creative director of Helmut Lang.

Staying true to Do’s appreciation and fascination of craft, the cover features black embroidery that juxtaposes the functional details printed in silver Pantone found throughout the book. The document is an extension of Do’s precise hand and cultivated eye, a personal notebook that indexes formative memories and lasting relationships he holds dear. The issue explores the idea of home, from his childhood in Biên Hòa, Vietnam to living in New York, rooted in the memories held of different places, people, objects and how one remembers. It is Do’s most intimate project to date, inviting readers to understand the internal narratives of the shy designer.

A studio visit with Fidan Novruzova

Glance around Fidan Novruzova’s office and you find yourself deep inside a wunderkammer of references and signs from the universe. The handle of an Art Deco vanity has a strange coincidence with a piece of jewellery from a previous season, and the book on the shelf has a serendipitous backstory too. You can’t quite shake the feeling that a lot is happening or, more accurately, that something is about to happen. Things have a way of finding their way into the Moldovan-Azerbaijani designer’s universe, each one an invitation to experiment and see where it might lead.

A Studio Visit with Kenta Orimi

In a small office in the Tokyo neighbourhood Harajuku, Kenta Orimi welcomed me into the studio for his eponymous brand, Orimi. After high school he was drawn to the area, working in various stores and boutiques, and in 2018 he opened The Elephant, a select shop where you’ll find pieces from Stefan Cooke, Vaquera, ERL, Martine Rose, carefully selected vintage pieces, as well as Orimi, of course.
