Peter Do Exits Helmut Lang After Two Runway Shows as Creative Director

As a seasoned fashion enthusiast with a keen eye for emerging talent, I can’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for Peter Do, who, much like a chameleon changing colors, has left his mark on yet another iconic fashion house. His tenure at Helmut Lang was brief, but his impact was undeniable, and it’s a testament to the rollercoaster ride that is the world of high fashion.


Last year in May, Peter Do took on the role of creative director at Helmut Lang. However, he has now left the position, as confirmed by both the brand and the designer, with this information being disseminated to publications like Vogue.

As a gamer, I’ve just learned that Helmut Lang chose not to present a runway show for the Spring/Summer 2025 season during the latest Fashion Week events. His debut for Spring/Summer 2024 received a lukewarm response, but his second and final showing garnered more applause. Even with this positive momentum, he’s one of several creative directors who’ve recently left their posts. Notable examples include Peter Hawkings at Tom Ford, Walter Chiapponi at Blumarine, and Rhuigi Villaseñor at Bally, all of whom had brief stints. Since Michael and Nicole Colovos stepped down as creative directors a decade ago, Helmut Lang has been collaborating with designers like Shayne Oliver for special collections.

Do expressed his appreciation to his Helmut Lang team, who have been essential in realizing his vision. He’s found this experience, taking on the task of continuing Helmut Lang’s legacy, truly remarkable. Keep an eye out for updates as we move forward with our rotating creative directors and Helmut Lang looks towards a fresh direction. In the interim, Do will carry on expanding his own personal label.
