Dancing Queen

Body Clothing

Milk might do a body good.

But so do a couple of margaritas, a four-hand massage, and a lengthy session in the sack.

All we’re saying is that overindulgence is as important as staying healthy. And Body, a seductive, Australian clothing line made with mostly natural fibers, strikes the perfect balance.

With her first season in the U.S., veteran designer Dainy Sawatzky embodies the collection’s theme: Modern Maiden. A ballerina, she started designing to create rehearsal gear that she could also wear out.

Each piece hones in on the body’s wants (elegance) and needs (comfort). To wit: The pull-on pants look like tailored slacks, while classic yet edgy dresses are a cinch to slide into.

Something everybody can appreciate.
