Gentlewoman style: Peter Do x Banana Republic
“I feel like the industry is going through sort of a collaboration exhaustion, and I didn’t want to add any more to that conversation if I didn’t have anything new to say. If we do this, I said, we have to do it in a way where we don’t sacrifice any design integrity…After visiting the stores, I realized the quality is really amazing.”
Peter Do, Vogue.
The Peter Do x Banana Republic collab sounds promising doesn’t it? While we await his debut collection for Helmut Lang at NYFW next month, we’re being teased with this capsule Banana Republic semi-reveal, which lands in October.
The video is very enticing, as is the description of a four-piece suit consisting of tuxedo blazer, trousers, utility shirt, and skirt, and the cotton trench with removable shearling collar. (Love these swishy pleats!) Vogue also flags a “chunky ribbed cashmere sweater inspired by an oversize knit that Kate Moss modeled in a 1990s BR campaign”. Wait… where did we see this recently?!
Not sure if we’ll get the collection in the UK (currently BR doesn’t ship here and it’s only available at Next), but I’ll update when I know more. In the meantime, read more here and here.
