New York-based designer Peter Do, who was tapped in May to be creative director at Helmut Lang, has designed a capsule collection for Banana Republic, the Gap Inc.-owned retailer announced Tuesday.
Drawing inspiration from Banana Republic’s archives, Do’s collection will include a range of knitwear, outerwear and silk shirting in his signature neutral colour tones.
The capsule will be “grounded in versatile, high-quality pieces celebrating impeccable tailoring and craftsmanship, which are at the core of both brands’ design codes,” Banana Republic said in a statement.
The capsule will be available to buy in select stores and online in October.
