Peter Dundas has made his home in fashion capitals around the world, but no one can argue he’s not an Angeleno now. This collection was photographed at the home Dundas shares with his partner in life and work EV Bousis; downtown LA sparkles in the distance behind model Daria Stroukos. More telling though are her clothes. Sexy is in the brand DNA—in Dundas’s DNA. But the performance fabric he used for pieces like the Electric Jungle-printed jumpsuit with chain detailing that opens the lookbook is a new element, one that seems aligned with the gym-going healthy living practiced by SoCal-ers. Knitwear also features prominently; he cut it into clingy tank dresses, and a crop top and flared pant matching set, whose low-slung pants come with racy circular cutouts at the hips. If Dundas hasn’t designed a lower-priced version of that matching set for his Revolve collab, he should get on it quick. It’s the 2022 answer to Y2K’s ubiquitous and fortune-making velour tracksuits—you know the ones.
He cut pantsuits in crushed silk and linen in oversized, slouchy proportions, with the painter pants that are his current obsession. The provided a counterpoint to the body-conscious silhouettes that defined the collection, but spin the jackets around to the back and the lacings that crawl up the side of his dresses appear there too, the better to cinch them.
