Fall in love with Lover

To mark the return of Lovers comeback after a 5 year no show at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week, the polished label closed Day 1 of RAFW at the Sydney Opera House Studio.

The White Serpent, Lover’s 2011/2012 SS collection draws inspiration from Chinese mythology, the collection brought to life the beauty of romance “tempered by tragedy”.

Lace took centre-stage in a seductive way and is a trend to watch this season. Lover has perfected it with their French lace and leather in hues of red, white and black that were effortlessly styled with sharp tailoring. Delicate dresses, and long sheer gowns teamed with statement shoes and a bold red lip toughened up the looks on the runway.
