Dion Lee 

Fall 2012 Ready to Wear

Inspired by breathing and the human anatomy,

Dion Lee's Collection shows off his technical accomplishments with his impeccable construction of fabrics.  The fabrics seemed to suspend on the bodies and fall seemlessly in the right places.  Garments made of layered tulle, organza, light reflecting knits and high visibility fibers were innovative and gorgeous.

Check out the shoes!

ACNE

Acne

Spring/Summer Resort 2012

Creative Director Jonny Johansson describes the inspiration as "Couture mixed with jeans, running into a historic couture dress in taffeta and being wrapped in it."

The collection brings relaxed and minimal silhouettes with vibrant colors.  The materials consisted of silk, taffeta, denim, cotton and sheers.
