While Dion Lee’s show was all glass, crystals and giant zippers, it was possibly the A-list guest list who stole the show.

Choosing to show in the Bloomberg skyscraper, Lee established that this range was different and was to be taken seriously, especially when you checked out his front row, which included Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Bridget Malcolm, and actress Yael Stone, from HBO’s hit TV show, Orange Is The New Black.

“I think the environment is important in the way it relates to the architecture in the collection. The connection to glass, transparency and tailoring relates to the lightness of the clothes,” said Lee.
