Introduction
Lydia Sukato is a fashion designer and operations specialist who co-founded Peter Do. She studied Fashion Design at the Fashion Institute of Technology, graduating in 2014, and was Peter Do’s longtime roommate and classmate. Before the label, she worked in design at Calvin Klein, a role whose exact department and dates remain unresolved in the supplied record.
Sukato joined Peter Do as one of its five founders and took responsibility for the operating detail behind the collection system. Her work covered purchase orders, SKUs, accounting, shipping, administration and logistics, translating a small design studio into a business able to receive wholesale orders and deliver seasonal product internationally.
Her founder status is secure across the label’s early and runway periods. The supplied evidence leaves her formal Peter Do endpoint and her place in the reduced five-person team described in 2025–2026 unresolved.
Design ethos
Sukato’s role joined fashion training to operational control. Her FIT design background gave her a working understanding of garment development, and her Peter Do remit concentrated on the data, order and delivery structures that carried a collection from studio decisions into production and retail.
Peter Do’s early model depended on close coordination between design, sales and operations. Sukato’s management of purchase orders, SKUs, accounting and shipping formed the administrative spine of that system, supporting the label’s made-to-order wholesale rhythm and later international expansion.

Career history
2018
The five founders carried the Spring/Summer 2019 collection to a temporary Paris apartment showroom in summer 2018 and handled the selling environment directly. Buyer discovery through social media and word of mouth produced early orders from major international retailers and established the label’s wholesale system.
2018
Peter Do entered public commerce in early 2018 through T-shirts, jewellery, socks, bags and small objects before the first full ready-to-wear delivery. The phased launch gave the founders an active public identity ahead of the wholesale collection system.
2017
Lydia Sukato co-founded Peter Do and managed the operating detail behind purchase orders, SKUs, accounting, shipping and logistics. Her historical operations remit is secure; the supplied evidence leaves her formal endpoint and current status in the reduced team unresolved.
2017
Peter Do was established by Peter Do, Vincent Ho, Lydia Sukato, Jessica Wu and An Nguyen as a shared founding company in New York. The founders combined fashion direction, image, business, operations, press, styling and fit, creating the institutional structure that preceded the first full collection.
