Photoblogger Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil snapped the Dion Lee Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection of the emerging Australian fashion designer during Rosemount Australian Fashion Week.

Shown at the Sydney Opera House, the colourful collection was part psychedelic with symmetrical ink blot prints and part futuristic Greco-Roman goddess with slicked back, plaster-painted tresses. It could even be considered part jock with its racerback details.

**Implications** - The models had bright complexions and looked like they weren't wearing any makeup at all. The Dion Lee Spring/Summer 2010/11 collection is the perfect mix of clothing that can go from day to night in a snap. The collection holds items that are wearable for both work and play.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Minimalist Makeup:** The collection's makeup-free look suggests an opportunity for minimalist makeup that enhances rather than covers up.
- **Versatile Clothing:** The collection's day-to-night wearable pieces suggest an opportunity for versatile clothing that can transition seamlessly.
- **Mixed Patterns:** The collection's combination of symmetrical ink blot prints suggests an opportunity for mixed patterns in fashion design.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore opportunities to create minimalist makeup looks, versatile clothing, and mixed patterns in their designs.
- **Beauty:** The beauty industry can get involved in the creation of minimalist makeup looks that enhance natural features.
- **Textile:** The textile industry can provide fabrics that are suitable for day-to-night wear and can incorporate mixed patterns into their designs.
