Dana Lee is a menswear designer based in New York who believes in supporting local production.Daughter to an architect, Dana grew up in a home that her father built over a creek in North Vancouver—hence surrounded by nature’s best: canyons, mountains, and forests.
Dana’s outdoor life also shaped her sense of comfortable designs, which have been evolving since the onset of her fashion career.
Her first collection, entitled A-Z, emphasized everyday basics like shapes and fabrics. Dana envisioned her collection in juxtaposition to the asymmetrical gothic styles of the time.
Her 2011 spring/summer collection is simple, practical, and down to earth—possibly a reflection of the designer herself.
