Dion Lee [II] Spring/Summer 2014/15
Dion Lee is a master of construction, evidently nailing the art of carefully piecing together interlocking fabrics and weighty folded pleats with artfully placed slits; somewhat of a signature within his design process. Seamlessly picking up where he left off, Dion Lee showed a strong collection with a focus on masculine tailoring, with a touch of femininity through exposed backs, and origami-esque dresses.
Lee’s summer offering saw the fine knife pleats, which appear in his current Winter collection, re-emerge, a subtle element which added depth to brush stroke splattered pieces and bias cut dresses. The use of denim broke up the looks, bringing a bit of Bondi to an otherwise refined collection. For Lee’s first showing of his Line II collection, it certainly wasn’t one to be missed.
Were you able to go to the Dion Lee show? We should have met up!

I actually didn’t make it as I was at work, but my photographer was able to go for me (hence the photos). It was a crazy week – we should arrange to catch up for a drink one night if you are keen
