Australian, Dion Lee has carved a niche into the runways of Australia and London Fashion Weeks with his innovative and sleek womenswear. His eye for truly modern and seductive garment construction cannot be masked by his attention to detail.
The creation of his experimental treatments embodied the ideas of classic tailored techniques and high-quality choices in fabric. His line is completely ingenious & highly functional from the sleekness of his jackets to the contemporary line of his simply fitted pant.
Dion Lee was born in Sydney, Australia where he attended Sydney Institute of Technology. He was quickly immersed into the international world of design while being the recipient of such awards as the L’Oreal Fashion Festival Design Award in 2010 and the International Woolmark Prize in 2012. Soon after, he debuted his warmly embraced Ready to Wear Fall 2012 collection.
Lee’s impeccable tailoring and enthusiasm for sharp lines and geometric design make him a designer of the future. But it is his ability to still derive elegance and flattering silhouettes that make his pieces engaging and relevant in a world of recycled designs. His attentiveness to a woman’s body has gathered the consciousness of celebrities such as singer Rita Ora, rapper Azealia Banks, and supermodel Miranda Kerr.
With three years and seven collections, he has been able to maintain a freshness and cultivation about his work. He enforces references to architectural design and the acquaint of organic balance as he consistently delivers new possibilities. Lee’s work is a perpetual counteraction of modern versus classic and fluid versus structure. He never seems to loose his imaginative & exploratory spirit as he plays with the constructional lines and water based elements that his audience and come to expect and adore.
The spotlight of Dion Lee is just beginning as we all look forward to what will be a promising career. As he makes one more step in his attempt of fashion world domination with his appearance in the Spring’s 2014 New York Fashion Week, we can certainly expect nothing short of polished prestige treatments & modern influences from this young designer. Dion Lee is the one to watch.
