ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 7

Does the name Dion Lee ring a bell? Well if it doesn't, shame on you, you're missing out.

His designs are always so well built (you can see a lot of thought is put into them), they're almost architectural: think laser cut patterns, incredible shapes, cut-outs and lines and... You get the point.
Catch up on his work here (seriously, do it) and then go pick out a piece you'd like santa to bring you this Christmas. I'll take this one Mister Claus:

And for today's tune, something Australian seemed fitting (since today's designer is Australian...!). That's Cut Copy - Need You Now (from their Zonoscope album, yes, that's ANOTHER album you need to check out).

CUE:DION LEE

I really hope you all remember Dion Lee... The first collection I saw from him -on Tommy Ton's blog Jak & Jil- really blew me away (this was his spring/summer 2010 collection). The colours, the pleating, the cuts, volumes,...

But what I actually wanted to show you is his recent collaboration with Australian Store Cue. It offers the same sensational designs (although more subdued and a little less futuristic than his personal collection), but this really shows what a genius designer he is. In short: I'm in luuurve.

(ooooh how I wish I lived anywhere near Australia... I'd snatch up about half of this collection if I could!)
