RICK LEE is a contemporary designer that seeks artisanal high fashion in Italy.
2014 S/S collection ‘oh mio dio’ is based on the history of ‘confliction of religions’ between catholic and Isalmic. My collection is inspired from my travel in Istanbul at ‘Hagia Sophia’ which was a former orthodox patriarchal basilica (church), later a mosque.I was greatly inspired how within one space there were two religions that co-existed and translated this into my collection.I have taken the Islamic traditional patterns, colors and catholic fresco wall art mixing the two elements of each religions. The message i wanted to convey in my collection is ‘love and peace’ which speaks in all religions.
