Recently, the DANA LEE website endorsed this article,
Dana Lee Goes Back to Basics, to promote the "stock program" aka the (mostly) white collection aka the longest maternity leave known in human history. It attempts to justify the flexibility of slightly modifying core signature silhouettes/styles season-to-season by comparing Dana to the likes of Margaret Howell and Christophe Lemaire and how they were the founders of such practice.
Despite best efforts to maintain solidarity I continue to walk with a diplopia of both: nostalgia for "early DANA" productions and complete betrayal by "current DANA". Can you keep a warehouse supply of sample sale garments on your webshop for 2 years and still call yourself a designer without creating anything in the meantime. Can you call making a couple shirts, pants and shorts a new collection. Can you refer to such a collection as a Back to Basics program when the brand itself hasnt made anything more ground-breaking than a two-toned casual shirt since 2013.
This current collection is implied as a placeholder until whenever she feels like shes bored of being a fully committed mother. I personally would have preferred to skip it, instead having a more radiohead-inspired return to the industry at a later time, where everything on the website was slowly deleted, including the tanktops.
