What to know about DIDU
Antwerp training, Beijing-born, Paris-based
Di Du graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in 2019 under Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk Van Saene, and now runs the label from Paris.
Footwear is the entry point
Sneakers and other footwear are what the label is best known for, built on the same sculpted, futuristic shapes as the clothing.
Sharp cutting over street basics
Collections read as avant-garde and techwear-adjacent rather than logo streetwear: sculpted silhouettes, subversive takes on femininity, higher-grade materials at upper-mid prices.

Brand facts
DIDU is the namesake label of Chinese designer Di Du, who graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp fashion department in 2019 — training under Antwerp Six members Walter Van Beirendonck and Dirk Van Saene — and launched the brand the same year. Collections center on sharp cutting, sculpted silhouettes and a subversive, futuristic reading of femininity in high-quality materials.
