Lee Mathews
In another life Lee Mathews, founder of her eponymous brand, would have been an artist. Much of her joy comes from looking at a rail of clothes in the abstract – taking a painterly viewpoint in terms of their colours, textures and patterns and observing how they juxtapose in a way where one piece contributes to the dynamism of another. Mathew's makes use of natural fabrics such as cottons, linen, denim, canvas, tweed, wool, and silk georgette which are sourced from around the world. Prints are designed in-house and the final signature, without being able to put a finger on exactly how, is quintessentially Australian.
