Mardi 17

A young man who has caught the attention of many bloggers of late is young Australian Dion Lee. Only recently graduated, Lee has made a rep for himself for producing clear-cut, highly structured garments that are tailored to absolute perfection. His SS11/12 collection doesn't stray from it either, with lots of origami-like manipulation and precise tailoring. It has a sterile feel, with the models hair slicked down with black paint, peaked collars and razor-blade-like folds. My picks of the collection are the white pleated dresses at the end, as they are so wearable yet display so much skilled tailoring.
