Of any designer working today, Peter Dundas can communicate the most useful with the red carpet.
The Belgian, with creative directors in Roberto Cavalli and Emilio Pucci under her belt, launched her namesake label in 2017 via Beyoncé’s Grammys wardrobe, and hasn’t taken off since. She most recently created the yellow jumpsuit worn by HER at this year’s awards, and dressed Cardi B, Joan Smalls and Natasha Pauly at Cannes, with versions of her look now on Revolve through its partnership with e-commerce are purchasable.
Relocating to Los Angeles, he now spends almost 50 percent of his time grooming celebrities.
“It drives business. I also always try to have a creative relationship between the two. I do a lot of celebrity dressing that is straight from the collection, or if it’s something on the red carpet, it inspires me. Nearby is a dress called Nirvana, whose open back wraps around, at least 10 celebrities have worn it which makes it a significant part of the collection,” he said, instead resuming that work. Everything in keeping with our philosophy of working.
“A lot of my inspiration comes from images of celebrities and people in the music business, so my aesthetic already connects to their work. I like clothes that look more sexy.”
He said for Resort 2023, taking inspiration from the supermodel era of the ’90s and casting his friend Heidi Klum as his look book muse.
Soaring heels in front of the L.A. skyline, Klum debuts Dundas’ first swimwear, featuring sultry cutouts, wrap, and strap details, harking back to images by Helmut Newton.
Several versions of the famous front and side lacing minidress worn by a pregnant Rihanna in Barbados over Easter weekend made it into the collection — in hot pink, and as a long black gown, to name two.
The designer said they fit very differently on Klum, who has already worn a version of the dress in public, and that’s it. “I pride myself on making women feel great regardless of their size or age. I dress royals in the ’80s, I model and I dress Lizzo; anyone with clothes It’s wonderful to feel confident and comfortable.”
jersey jumpsuit with cutout crisscross bra top, like the one recently worn by Cardi B, in a “jungle camo” bandeau top and leggings and two knockout embellished minidresses, lacquered lace side panels, or in crushed velvet with ombre effect perspex mirrors, whose were on offer. The world is a stage.
For a more subtle, minimalist dandas, an emerald green kaftan-jumpsuit, black jersey halter gown with side cutouts and thigh-high slits, and a hot pink tuxedo jacket looked good. “I really start each collection with a suit; This is how I was brought up in fashion. My first job was with Jean Paul Gaultier and they cut jackets like nobody else, so I still have that discipline. ,
Dundas is dedicated to America for now, continuing to grow its high-end business as well as low-priced collections with Revolve.
“Their customer base is similar to ours but smaller and with a smaller pocketbook. It’s more accessible but the quality is amazing, and I have high standards,” he said of the apparel. “They also work a lot with analytics, so they know their customers well.”
