Sexy, sharp and uber cool. Three things that are top of the list when describing the phenomenal collections by Australian designer Dion Lee. At only 27 years of age, his creations show an understanding and gift for tailoring that many twice his age are still seeking. Structure is a big part of his design, but so is fluidity and both exist in perfect balance throughout Lee's collections. There is also an air of minimalism to his clothes, akin to that seen in Philip Lim or Alexander Wang's collections.
When asked what inspired him, Lee's answer was music to the sartorially savvy's ears... "I really enjoy the design process on how things are made, and the more technical aspect of how you pull a collection together. I’ve got a really strong interest in pattern making and how the garments are constructed, and that really motivates me." All I can say is whatever you're doing it's working!

Adored by many, most notably on the red carpet by Karlie Kloss and Rooney Mara, whilst in the retail world his collections have been picked up by Net-a-Porter and Shopbop, this really is someone to keep your eye firmly fixated upon.
