Do became the creative director of Helmut Lang in 2023, releasing his first collection during the Autumn New York Fashion Week. [3] The collection received mixed reviews. In a review for The Cut, Cathy Horyn describing it as "devoid of meaning", and compared the collection to Helmut Lang's sister company, Uniqlo. In a review for the New York Times, Vanessa Friedman said that the collection was "accomplished, accessible, and very commercial", but that it was missing the "subversion" found in the collections made when Helmut Lang was creative director. [4] In a review for Washington Post, Rachel Tashjian said that his debut "stole the show", and that the collection was "raw [...] and precise".[5]
