DION LEE
For young designers, living up to the highest of expectations can be a total nightmare. For a designer genius like Dion Lee, anything is possible...
The architectural tailoring was softened this year with curved edges and paintery-styled butterfly prints.
After surving 3 days of the Fashion Week - no food, all drink diet, by the morning of day 4 I was about ready to eat anything in sight. When the gelato-coloured dresses with fine pleating and draped over cut-outs came out my mouth began to water profusely.
His colour palette of lilac (a favourite this week) and pale blue felt fresh and summery – his pieces have become slightly more commercial and wearable without losing their conceptual status.
DL has a level of sophistication that is truly rare to find in the Australian Industry. Once again, he has put every other designer this week to rest.
Yummy.
