Sommwhere

09/12/2025

With New York Fashion Week, it’s the perfect time at Sommwhere to highlight innovative designers we’ve hosted in our spaces, such as .peterdo — a Vietnamese-American fashion designer, former Creative Director of Helmut Lang and Owner + Creative Director of his eponymous label that launched in 2018.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He is known for transforming minimalist tailoring into a modern wardrobe staples—anchored in function, quality, and ethical production. He continues to define luxurious everyday clothing through his brand that is built on community and craftsmanship.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Earlier this year, Peter Do transformed 48 Ludlow into a week long cafe + pop up shop. The store featured one of ones, his quintessential, classic pieces and a limited edition collection, exclusively available at Sommwhere. From Japanese fabric development, to Italian shoemakers, to homemade Vietnamese treats, not a single detail was missed. The pop up was an incredibly special experience and a true success.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned for who’s coming to Sommwhere for NYFW this fall.

At Sommwhere, we work with chefs who understand, believe and feel aligned with our food philosophy, which centers around a zero waste approach using locally-sourced ingredients, with transparency at the forefront. All of our catering partners emphasize farm to table food with seasonally appropriate menus, served with Heart Part (biodegradable utensils) ultimately helping to reduce the carbon footprint of all meals served at Sommwhere.

This year, we celebrated Earth Day at 48 Ludlow where we hosted who teamed up with who brought our food philosophy to the fore with the talented leading the innovative menu + set design for the event.

After each event, part of our procedure is to give back to our community in the Lower East Side. We donate to the community fridge on Essex Street, repurpose leftovers, and share with folks at local shelters. We also just got a new lomi food composter.

Their newest purse, the GSCTH is a Frankenstein bag aka the ultimate designer handbag.
