Lee Mathews collaborates with Vanessa Coyle and Adrian Samson
A nurturing of the inventive, the Lee Mathews creative collaboration with renowned photographer Adrian Samson & stylist and friend of the brand Vanessa Coyle is an artistic endeavour that seeks to reinterpret Lee Mathews through a new lens.
An intersection sitting between the industrial, the original and the natural femininity of the brand, Samson and Coyle juxtapose the delicacy of natural fabrications with the art and architectural influences at the core of the brands ethos.
Working within the Resort 23 collection, Samson's artistic approach to collage informed a creative outlay, with Coyle’s layering expertise allowing the collection a deconstructed feel.
On Wednesday, the brand celebrated the collaboration at an intimate gallery space in Sydney’s Woollahra. Guests were dressed in the latest resort collection. Catering by APlenty and drinks provided by WINONA wine and Perrier Jouet.
