Dion Lee S/S 2018 – Review
INSPIRED BY:Â Designer Dion Lee’s affinity with his laid-back hometown of Sydney and his simultaneous love affair with the gritty urban streets of New York City.
POP-CULTURE NOD:Â DKNY’s hip, younger sibling on a mission to put the Big Apple back in N.Y.C.
WEAR IT TO: Grab coffee at Bluestone Lane in Nolita with the Aussie mafia fash pack.Then bounce to Fig.19 in the LES with Byron Bay-native model Jordan Barrett for a night dirty martinis and debauchery till dawn.
FIRST READ:Â Exotic floaty silks worn under draped terry-towl capes in jewel tones were peppered among asymmetrical slate blazers and Lee’s signature laser-cut scuba architectural numbers. Beach-friendly flip flops, bike shorts and oversized suiting gave the show a 90’s supermodel feel, while parachute parkers and denim pieces stayed true to Lee’s focus on streetwear with an athletic edge.
BEST LOOK:Â A layered lilac paper-yarn knit worn over a matching silk dress, paired with white booties and free-flowing curls.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Statement sculptural silver cuffs and lab-inspired shades with logo croakies.
SPOTTED IN THE FROW: Mia Moretti, Aluna Francis, TK, Cipriana Quann, Halsey, Alycia Debnam Carey,
OVERHEARD COURTSIDE:Â “Did you go to Lee’s show at the Sydney Opera House earlier this year? I got there by ferry – it’s a bit different to catching an Uber from midtown.”
COLOR WHEEL:Â Emerald, purple, indigo, black, hot pink, grey.
