DIY Inspiration - Dion Lee

Every so often a designer comes out of the woodwork and delivers a collection so full of DIY that I need to take a moment to collect myself. Dion Lee's AW11 collection has my mind swirling with DIY ideas - mens shirts, cut outs, sheerness and more. Oh no you dint! Although I must say Dion has been producing collections with covetable DIYable details for a while now (remember the blazer with cut out sleeves?).

DIY Shearling / Sheepskin Jacket

The sheepskin bomber jackets are going to be hitting the designer stores and highstreets in force this coming A/W (and you were thinking its summer???). Inspired by these, I am going to add a wide sheepskin collar over the top of my black leather bomber jacket and take it from there! The sheepskin collar I will make by buying some sheepskin fabric, cutting a rectangle and then angling the edges so it looks like a collar when thrown around my neck. I know it sounds cliche but honestly, why buy when you can DIY?
