I’ve fallen in love with British designer Lee Klabin’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 Collection. Breathtakingly beautiful structured pieces enhance the womanly silhouette with the help of boning which runs through the panels and seams resulting in traditional British fashion with an artistic flare!
Celebrities such as Dita Von Teese, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lily Cole are already followers of this Israeli born fashion designer. No wonder really as she manages to create pieces that capture the essence of power dressing but with a feminine edge. Lee’s obsession with emphasizing the female form was always the driving force behind her creations. She studied at London College of Fashion and afterwards started to design couture corsets which caught the attention of enough people that she decided to launch an evening Ready-To-Wear Collection which cinch in and accentuate all the right places of a woman’s figure.
