I don’t know if you still remember the designers of the Bright Young Things in Selfridges’ windows. I love them all personally and I feel so great that I can interview some of them. As one of the designers in Ones to Watch S/S 2011, I did an interview with Lilee in September last year. Her minimal designs just impress me in the show. (I love the pattern most for sure.) Born in Korea, Lilee graduated in London College of Fashion in 2010. Her graduation collection was published in many magazine and Asos invited her to create a special collection for them last Season. And I’ve asked Lilee to share her feeling and her inspiration of the S/S 2011 collection. The collection is full of pleats and femininity. I love the geometric dog print most in the collection.
