The Fashion Art of Heidi Lee

Designer and artist Heidi Lee crafts surreal wearables, garnering a reputation for her "Endless Echo Hat" that features a cast, repeating version of her face. Since making its debut a few years back, the work has seen new evolutions and iterations. Otherwise, Lee toys with form and convention in her progressive pieces.

Designer and artist Heidi Lee crafts surreal wearables, garnering a reputation for her “Endless Echo Hat” that features a digitally cast, repeating version of her face. Since making its debut a few years back, the work has seen new evolutions and iterations. Otherwise, Lee toys with form and convention in her progressive pieces.

Fashion company Not Just a Label describes Lee as an “avant-garde couture designer and artist … Her work challenges and summons the viewer on a universal level, as if a mythological mind/storyteller walks among us now. Not just borrowing from past aesthetics, she builds on a cosmology that links the modern world with our past.”
