The person and the label
Who is behind DIDU?
Di Du graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in 2019, having studied under Antwerp Six members including Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk Van Saene, the label says, and won VFILES that year, which brought a debut at New York Fashion Week. DIDU launched later in 2019. The Fédération describes ready-to-wear for women built on sustainable fabrics and sharp cuts, with non-conformist styling and an emphasis on body acceptance; the label is building its presence in Paris and Shanghai. It has presented on the official Paris calendar since September 2021, was a Yu Prize finalist in 2022 and made an exclusive capsule with Mytheresa in April 2023. In the seasons we checked, DIDU presented every season from FW23 to SS25, then for SS26 and SS27.
