Edeline Lee Presents Autumn/Winter 2013

We caught up with designer Edeline Lee in her Bayswater studio and home to take a look through her accomplished Autumn/Winter 2013 collection. "I discovered a wonderful treasure trove of Oddfellows regalia and costumes in Texas. I was entranced by the detailing. The Oddfellows were a society with a lot of secret rituals. These clothes weren't made by the wives at home which is what would have been normal at the time, but in special factories, because the women weren't supposed to know about them. The level of detail was amazing - it was almost like folk art. I wanted to capture that element in my collection. There were a lot of things that spoke to me; I found an affinity with the aesthetic of these clothes. I liked the idea of putting secret symbols into my collection."
