Fashion’s Next: Dion Lee

Australian designer, Dion Lee, just put his seventh season at Australian Fashion Week under his belt. Known for his attention to detail, contemporary cuts and architecturally innovative vision, Lee is the future of fashion. With Net-a-Porter.com and other major fashion retailers picking up his collection, Lee is fast becoming a household name.

His sudden international success and demand on his time has not in anyway lessened his creativity and attention to detail. Each and every piece of Dion Lee clothing is cut to perfection and truly shows how much time and concentration goes into his design process. This was seen in his most recent fall 2011 collection of shape hugging dressed and separates in sultry reds and black.

This spring 2011 season Lee’s silk-chiffon dresses and structured jackets are absolute wardrobe staples. Ice-blues, lavenders and apricots color the collection, the most anticipated of Rosemount Australia Fashion Week at Sydney’s famous Opera House, of figure flattering pieces and minimal styling for a clean overall appearance. The silk tuxedo jacket and Rorschach printed organza dress is the perfect spring outfit that can take you from the desk to the dance floor. Although Lee expresses a very modern vision, his clothing is extremely wearable, and this season has a very sporty feeling with the addition racer-back tanks and t-shirt dresses.

The coolest part of the spring collection were the Rorschach prints, Lee wanted these to represent an uninhibited reaction to fashion. The prints were an opportunity to do something unexpected and catch the attention of buyers and fashion lovers who have their own unique sense of style. He definitely achieved his goal. We are all waiting to see what he does next.
