PETER DUNDAS, NORWEGIAN DESIGNER

Peter Dundas is a fashion designer born in Oslo in 1969. After leaving Norway he arrived in New York where he attended Parsons. Experience in which, after hours spent drawing, he developed an obsession for the female body. In 1992 he returned to Europe, precisely in Paris, where he became Jean Paul Gaultier’s assistant for eight years. In 2000 he arrived at Christian Lacroix, where he remained for two years. Then he began his first experience with Roberto Cavalli in Florence.

Three years later in 2005 he was appointed creative director of Emanuel Ungaro’s women’s collection, but also this experience ended in a short time, and after only two seasons the French fashion house announced the termination of the working relationship.

It was 2008 when Peter became the new creative director of Emilio Pucci, where he was able to experiment with colour and energy, revealing the hidden side of the brand founded by the prince of prints.

He left Pucci in 2015, when he was appointed creative director of Roberto Cavalli. And so, as he stated, he returned home. His period at Cavalli is described as a period of transformation for the brand, which was orphaned after the abandonment of its founder. His goal was to propose an easier and more day-to-day attitude, a rupture operation that did not lead to the desired results, and in 2016 the relationship between Dundas and Cavalli was interrupted.

DUNDAS

In 2017 Peter launched its brand Dundas, supported by his life and business partner, Evangelo Bousis. The big debut took place at the 2017 Grammy Awards, when Beyoncè wore a Dundas dress.  The brand is for anyone who is proudly bold and wants to stand out in any room they are, Peter told us. Loved by big names in fashion and entertainment such as Katy Perry, Kendall Jenner, Gabrielle Union, Emily Ratajkowski and many more. Dundas follows a non-seasonal structure of capsule collections to meet the needs of all the brand’s customers.
