What:
Dion Lee AW10, 'How to be Invisible'
Where:
Blonde Venus, 707 Ann St, Fortitude Valley. Or buy online here.
How much:
From $500
Word on the street is that Sydney-based designer Dion Lee is the next big thing in fashion. He only graduated a couple of years ago, but he's already got four stand-out collections under his belt, debuted at RAFW, and he won the LMFF 2010 Designer Award last month.
He has wooed fashion bloggers the world over with his engineering genius and sculptural nous. And just one glance at his AW10 collection inspires feverish plotting as to how one of his crushed sculpture cut-outs can find a home on my person.
Inspired by surrealism and visual deception, 'How to be Invisible' is another chapter in his trademark futuristic tailored lady-origami. Clean, sharp folds are peeled back in architectural onion layers to reveal the unexpected sexiness of your synovial joints - a supple knee here, a slender elbow there - they haven't had this much undivided attention since the 90s demanded jeans ripped at the knee.
Note: A pleated jersey tailored dress or an inverted spinal vest will make you look about $1,000,100 better than being at a Nirvana concert.

FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
