Lover will forever be a favourite label of mine, come rain, hail or shine. Their stellar spring 12/13 collection, entitled 'Persona' seems to encapsulate for me the quintessential 'Lover ladies' that have echoed through the collections from the beginning; the Lolita you see reading Jane Austen in the park; hair in braids wrapped across her head, denim pinafore, a straw basket and a bunch of white peonies clung to her shadow... The nonchalant, ethereal beauty bathed in a halo of light pouring from the stage, swaying cream silk to the beat of folk music... The wryly, wild spirit, serpent underneath, black laced, red lipped, conjuring moonbeams and speaking in tongues... The label, self described as 'the same album, different songs', stays true to their recognizable vision season after season, yet still maintains an element of surprise... ie, my reaction to the most recent collection "Wow! (I want it all)". With the opening of their new flagship store in The Strand, which I am planning a visit to ever so soonly, I am sure Lover will keep climbing the stairway to heaven. Here are a few of my favourite looks...
