The Dion Lee Spring 2014 collection marked the designer's New York Fashion Week debut with refined rocker chic garments that mixed elegance with edge. The designer dressed models in a mix of oversized outerwear silhouettes, asymmetrical hems and panelled crop top garments that embodied a youthful and effortlessly cool aesthetic.
Lee's latest collection shines a light on leather-accented garments and showcases the designer's meticulously folded and sculptural textile work. The Dion Lee Sprint 2014 collection is the opposite of traditional thanks to its young and modern translation of hard textures and a rocker chic aesthetic.
Without being literal, this collection references a rocker aesthetic and refines it for a modern woman who knows how to work and play.
