Continuing to be based in New York, Do’s tenure at the brand will be closely aligned with its heritage and overseen by Chief Executive Officer, Dinesh Tandon. Speaking on the news, he stated, “His clear and innovative approach to design very much aligns with the brand’s ethos and heritage. His experience with luxury fashion houses and his acclaimed eponymous label make him a natural choice for this role”.
Do’s affinity with Helmut Lang runs deep into his design career and aesthetic, explaining his deep-rooted pleasure of taking this House into the future. “No one embodied radical thinking more definitively than Helmut Lang,” stated the designer in the press release.
“It is my deep honour to be entrusted with ushering in the next chapter of Helmut Lang’s legacy. I am excited 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”.
