Dai Rees started as a milliner, creating fabulous headdresses and hats. He expanded to
womenswear - still fabulous and well crafted, an extension of his imaginative mind.
For Spring 2001, Dai Rees presented "Butterflies in an English Garden." Using lemons,
turquoise, corals, white and black, his daywear and evening collection was nostalgic of the
elegant 1950s look. It's not a reconstruction of Dior, nor a re-interpretation of Dior. The
collection was definitely Rees, his point of view of the 1950s five-decade hence.
Trousers and capri pants, shirt dresses with high splits, pencil skirts and fitted jackets
dominated the collection. And of course the hats which made him famous, shaped like butterflies
and birds, with sprigs of twigs and flowers!

A label launched on spectacular millinery has now established itself as a sophisticated womenswear
collection. Intelligently crafted clothes that span simple daywear to eveningwear and accessories,
play with texture, shape and form in mainly natural fibres. This season (Spring 2001), the V&A have acquired
the Dai Rees cane dress for their archives.
