Long overlooked as the land where only surf, sun and swim rules, Australia is fast becoming a fashion authority of its own as a line-up of modern day-to-evening brands have come to the forefront of international fashion. One of the most striking talents is Dion Lee, who since debuting his eponymous label in 2009, has been awarded with multiple industry awards for his sharp, architectural designs.

Lee’s newest collection is inspired by glass, transparency and refraction. Crystal crochet detailing made from clear beads create a glass-like texture, fabric is draped, pleated and cut to three-dimensional forms to recreate the effect of reflection while sheer elements and peekaboo cuts reveal just a hint of skin.

In an easy palette of black and white, what makes Lee’s collections so alluring is his innate ability to take simple ideas and make them feel utterly new and relevant.
