Creating provocative pieces that play with traditional notions of tailoring and construction is all in a day’s work for Dion Lee. The Sydney-based designer gives distressed denim a whole new meaning with these jeans from his latest collection, which aren’t just a little roughed up like your usual pair but frayed within an inch of their life. Cut to a straight-leg silhouette that sits mid-way on the waist, they’re finished in a faded wash before being shredded up down the front.| Dion Lee denim jeans100% cottonExposed button and concealed zip-fly fastening at frontRegular fit, mid-rise, straight leg, structured waistband with belt loops, four pockets, frayed distressed cut-outs at front, brand patch at back, faded wash, branded hardwareDry cleanTrue to sizeSize 26: rise 12in / 31cm, inside leg 34in / 86cm, leg opening 23in / 59cmModel is 5ft 11in/1.80m and wears a size 26Midweight, non-stretch
