I Was a Lover

I recently discovered Aussie brand, Lover, and I became hooked almost instantly. Designer Susien Chong and creative director, Nic Briand, have created a line with intricate detail and loads of chic that completely gets me. The inspiration behind their label - a love of music, film and fashion.

Their Spring/Summer 06/07 Collection actually hit the runway almost a year ago during Australia's Fashion Week, but since our seasons are opposite theirs, we, Americans, receive a delay on these goods. The title of this collection, "Black Rose Army." Many of the designs featured in this collection have a high-waist and short hemlines.

In LA, Lover can be found at Satine, Ron Herman and American Rag, and online at Le Train Bleu.
