Romantic Winter Dresses

The ‘Lover' Line

The designers that Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams love are selling the 'Love Bomb' collection in stores now. Susien Chong and Nic Briand started the 'Lover' brand clothing line in a tiny cubby in an Australian market.

Now loved by magazines from Vogue to Vice, the two designers are featuring romantic and feminine looks using ruffles and embroidery along with sheer blouses.

Implications - The Lover line has shapeless silhouettes that are accented by pleats across the chest. The shapeless tops come in a limited, but elegant color palette of grey, beige and white. Donning grey stockings, the models look casual-chic and ready for a day of relaxation and ease.
