Although I didn’t get to see Dion Lee’s show in person at RAFW, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about his utterly stunning collection. Everything about Dion’s work is so considered, so precise. The palette, the construction, the styling, the venue – all the aspects of the show came together to produce something truly exciting, truly innovative. The above dress is probably my favourite piece from the collection – its classic construction offset by a Rorschach inkblot print. The print is beautiful on first glance, slightly sinister on the second.
If the Rorschach test is designed to reveal inner thoughts, then welcome to my mind. I see pelvic bones; a monkey skull with glowing eyes; lobster claws; a scarab beetle. Make of that what you will.
