Having mastered the art of sculpting neoprene into casual day looks, that Dion Lee has undertaken his first foray into swimwear is a not-at-all surprising though nonetheless entirely welcome development.
Appropriating design elements from his eponymous main line label, like elaborate racerback ‘filter’ weaves and how-does-that-even-work harnesses, two of the looks revealed so far from the [WATER] component of Lee’s Oil + Water Resort 2014 collection hold the promise of restoring to swimwear that which all those Project Runway challenges pledged but never delivered on; that is, the ability to go from beach to boardroom in a single look [your office dress code or lack thereof pending].
