Who’s Looking for a Lover?

Lover Clothing Line

In the words of Michael Jackson: You’re a lover, not a fighter. (Unless it involves a parking spot or an 8 p.m. reservation at Quince.)

But you’ll definitely stay on the pacifist side when it comes to the Aussie line Lover, which just hit the states. The pieces are girly and sexy with hints of vintage and rock ’n’ roll. (In sum, it’s a “Thriller.”)

The spring line (titled Black Magick) consists of pieces in black, white, coral, and blue that are lust-worthy. In the black velvet jumpsuit with flower embroidery you’ll “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.” Likewise, you’re sure to be a “P.Y.T.” in the black velvet and cream embroidered silk georgette dress with French lace inserts. In the psychedelic zodiac print skirt, he’ll be saying “The Girl Is Mine.” And in the denim shorts (yes, you heard right) tell the bad boys to just “Beat It.”

No matter what piece you’re wearing, it’s “Bad.” (In a very good way.)
