Dion Lee II was another highlight on the MBFWA calendar. This is the first time that Line II, which retains many of the main lines’ signatures but at a lower price point, got a formal runway airing at fashion week and the collection didn’t disappoint. The relaxed and totally wearable collection consisted of loose tailoring, hints of denim and minimalist designs.

The Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival (VAMFF) 2014 kicked off with a bang last night with the Opening Event presented by David Jones and supported by Vogue Australia. Jessica Gomes and Montana Cox hit the runway in the latest autumn/winter designs by Dion Lee, Bassike, Josh Goot and many more. Check out my favourite runway looks…
DION LEE has collaborated with artist Mason Mulholland for his LINE II collection. Collages were created combining original imagery with classical statues. Aptly titled ‘Neoclassical’, Resort 13 features limited edition print tees as well as LINE II classic items with the Dion Lee signature. The collection drops in September-November.

Dion Lee presented his spring/summer 2013 collection in an intimate dinner and presentation at Guillaume at Bennelong, Sydney Opera House. I was lucky enough to be a guest on the night and I have to say it was my favourite show of the week. The collection titled ‘Windmap’ was adapted from the Dion Lee Fall 2013 collection presented in Paris earlier this year. The presentation included 15 previously unseen looks and consisted of evening shapes and tailored silhouettes. Each look was styled with the iconic R.M Willams Millicent boot to add to the Australian aesthetic within the collection. I particularly loved the accessory collaboration with Sydney based jewellery designers ‘Sarah and Sebastian’ who made pieces for the show that were adapted from the patterns within the collection, including a sculptural sterling silver interlocking harness. Here are some of my favourite looks.
