LOOKBOOK: LOVER

Get ready to fall for lace dresses, floral shorts, and corset tops.

Lover has a lot of lovers.

From Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams to Joanna Newsom and the Like, it’s hard to find an It Girl who doesn’t have the Australian label in their closet.

No surprise, considering just how effortlessly cool Lover can be.

For spring ’10, expect more of the same from Susien Chong and Nic Brand, the duo behind the brand. There are Victorian-via-Stevie Nicks lace dresses, quilted ‘60s style mini-dresses, and linen corsets straight out of a Fly Girl’s closet.

In fact, the entire collection—from basic blazers to not-so-basic peasant rompers—shows just how much the brand has grown since it started in 2001 as just a stall at a weekend market. But just because you grow older doesn’t mean you grow up; just look at their flirty off-the-shoulder dresses and floral short-shorts for proof, and then prepare to fall in love.
