OUR PICKS



Dion Lee
This young designer has RAFW talking up a storm! Lee makes up part of the "Sydney Six", a group of Australian designers who have ditched predictable wearable fashion, instead taking delight in their power to thrill. Since debuting his first collection in 2007, Lee already needs an extension on the house to hold all his awards! This is the hot designer’s 4th showcase and p.s. to all you single ladies - we didn’t hear any mention of a girlfriend...





Christopher Esber
Return of the phoenix, Christopher Esber has recovered from a controversial absence from last years RAFW and risen from the ashes! Watch out fashionistas, he has tongues flapping so fast that the poor things don’t even have time to sip their cosmos! Esber showed us his originality through his unique designs, strong lines and simple colours. We wonder what the resurrection will bring in 2010...
