Designers who uses pleating as a technique: Dion Lee-

This is a spring- summer 2010 collection by Dion Lee. It shows combinations of pleats and knots in one garment. I like the colours, texture and the shape of the garments. This collection is very unique and is quite simple and can be worn everyday.
