STUDIO: 25 West 38th Street 5th Floor New York, NY 10018 tel: 212.302.6946 studio@megenminglee.com		Megen Ming Lee : a premiere menswear collection. Increasingly rare in fashion these days, Megen's emphasis is on the formality of traditional tailoring with the styling and wearability of contemporary sportswear. He believes that the design and fabrication of clothing should reflect the structure of the body as well as enhance movement and human function. Coming from an Eastern based aesthetic, the collection's inspiration ranges from the organic perfection of insects' exoskeletons to the humble simplicity of a monk's robe. Insisting that design and craftsmanship are very important elements in menswear, Megen feels they are second only to the feeling that the garments generate in the wearer. Megen Ming Lee's approach to menswear design is the result of a life-long interest in design and three dimensional construction. From his early interest in architecture and industrial design to a later developing fascination with jewelry and costume design, Megen has the benefit of comprehending multiple facets of design, form and function. Though the designer has had many years of experience in the design field, Megen Ming Lee's collection has a purity that is entirely original. ©2004 MEGEN MING LEE
