LARA'S NYFW PHOTO DIARY: DION LEE

Oyster #91 cover girl and all-around famous babe Lara Bingle is currently hanging front row at New York Fashion Week 2014. So who better to ask for a photo diary than our gal Lara? She's the queen of Instagram after all. Note to self: Ask Lara to bring back all of the show bags. First up, she saw Dion Lee's FW14 collection show. He was nice enough to answer some questions for us too.

"Dion Lee is one of Australia's most talented fashion exports, and just now at NYFW, we got a reminder of why. His FW14 collection was a modern ode to Australiana. Inspired by bush flora, fauna and colonial themes, the line was contemporary and clean, while repping the creepy aspects of the land Down Under. There were drop-waist saddle belts, snake skin elements, pinafore pleating, crocodile hide and desert pea, wattle and waratah references. Amazing. One pair of white RM Williams please."

Can you describe your collection in five words, Dion?
Flora, fauna, predatory, pinafore, pink.

Who are three famous women who would definitely wear these pieces?
PJ Harvey, Chan Marshall, Baby Winona Ryder.

If your runway show was a song, what would it be?
'Cannibal's Hymn' - Nick Cave

If it was a delicious meal, what would it be?
A steak. Rare.

What is the piece de resistance of the collection?
Foldover Sleeved Chalk Stripe Coat.
