Dion Lee Brings Sex Back to NYFW

February 23, 2022

For his Fall/Winter 2022 collection, Dion Lee took his followers on a journey to a techno wonderland. Lee transformed a desolate Brooklyn warehouse into a grand runway to unveil a 49 look display of magnetic sex appeal. With expert crossovers of fine lace couture and beautifully knit silhouettes, The designer ascended to mastery and took his rightful spot as a mainstay of the New York Fashion Week schedule. While already known for his skin-tight, sexy shapes, Lee took the aesthetic of bondage to new and exciting heights with a handful of latex and leather creations. These paired with hair-raising displays of new outerwear and footwear rounded out the collection and left absolutely nothing to the imagination.

Following the presentation in Brooklyn, editors and it-girls among audience members shuttled themselves across the East River to downtown Manhattan to celebrate Valentine's Day with Dion Lee. The designer teamed up with the next-gen dating app FEELD to throw a lovers' day rager to remember. With Berlin-based nouveau techno legend VTSS on deck, the party soon turned The Palace into 'The Panorama Bar' as dancers flooded the floor and gave life to the rave. From the fashion to the festivities, Dion Lee gave us the complete fantasy, and we simply can't get enough.

Paris Louboutins With David LaChapelle

October 10, 2024

One of the most memorable of presentations in Paris at the end of the fashion season was, unsurprisingly, at the hands of iconic photographer, director, artist and overall creative genius David LaChapelle. Merging his “kitsch pop surrealism” with the SS25 collection by the French footwear house Christian Louboutin, choreography by Blanca Li, live music by LP and a synchronized performance by the French Olympic artistic swimming team — plus some rather mentionable pole dancing by topless “firefighters” — the theatrical display was matched only by a scene of LaChapelle, Louboutin and Li all jumping into the pool and dancing about fully clothed, if not moderately intoxicated. Fashion week, especially in Paris, can feel way too serious and self conscious. This presentation was definitely giving a more friends-and-family vibe: campy, fun and unpretentious.
