"and Samuel Schler's collaboration moves like a conversation. The pair's new dance film, directed by Philipp Paulus and scored by Brooklyn producer Matt Composure, brings together nine dancers dressed entirely in Do's new line. Shot inside the Brooklyn Museum, the project is less a traditional fashion film and more a meditation on how the body can hold tension, identity and belonging all at once."
"PD-168, Do's latest venture under his namesake brand, serves as both wardrobe and metaphor. Designed as a modular system of machine-washable black separates, each piece is marked by a single tattoo line on the left side - an emblem of subtle connection. "Dance was the perfect medium to convey one of the key pillars of PD-168: clothes made for everyday movement," Do says. "There's something special about seeing the line in motion.""
Do and Samuel Schler collaborated on a dance film directed by Philipp Paulus with music by Matt Composure, featuring nine dancers in Do's new line. Filmed at the Brooklyn Museum, the piece prioritizes movement over traditional fashion film conventions and examines how the body carries tension, identity, and belonging. PD-168 functions as wardrobe and metaphor: a modular system of machine-washable black separates, each marked by a left-side tattoo line denoting subtle connection. Schler's choreography rejects explicit narrative in favor of rhythm, feeling, and sensation, enabling personal emotional response. The film interrogates individuality within collective presence and how garments can embody belonging.
