Dion Lee's Operatic Surroundings For RAFW 2011

We go backstage at Dion Lee's show with make up director Napoleon Perdis. Set against the walls of the stunning Sydney Opera House interior with a view of the harbour as its backdrop making this Spring Summer 2011//2012 range the breathtaking start to Day 4. In stark contrast to other shows, Dion set our mouths agape with unique, gorgeous pastel and pale designs with pleating and precise tailoring to accentuate the female silhouette. He then slowly introduced gorgeous dark graphic printed dresses and separates along with splashes of turquoise and watermelon colour. It was more of a futuristic feel with angular slits and cut-outs along with strong silver and metal accessories. It seems as if this growing young designer still has what it takes to wow us all and this year's Rosemount Australian Fashion Week was no exception.
