At the helm of this issue is Peter Do, the young Vietnamese American designer who established his own line in 2018 and was named creative director of Helmut Lang in 2023. Here, he explores the theme of home and the memories one holds of different places, people, objects. It is the shy creative’s most intimate project to date. Contributors include poet and writer Ocean Vuong, Pulitzer Prizer winner Viet Thanh Nguyen, and other minds from the Vietnamese diaspora: a photo reportage of wet markets in Saigon by filmmaker Tran Anh Hung, work by artist duo Hart+Leshkina, a collaboration between Do and Aperture Prize winner Van-Nhi Nguyen, and much more.
