Rather than treating hardware as a purely functional element, Dion Lee repeatedly turns it into part of the architecture of a garment. The brand's own designs feature its distinctive two-tone safety slider hardware across dresses, tops and tailored separates, making the detail something of a signature. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis skirt belongs to that vocabulary.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe sharp knife pleats bring a sense of discipline to the silhouette, while the contrast stitching makes the construction itself part of the design.
