SYDNEY: Australia and New Zealand’s leading fashion and lifestyle retailer, THE ICONIC, has today unveiled the next evolution of cult Australian women’s designer label, LOVER. In this new phase, LOVER joins THE ICONIC’s impressive suite of exclusive brands and will add further strength to the retailer’s leading Australian contemporary designer assortment.
Founded in 2001 by Susien Chong and Nic Briand out of Sydney’s famous Bondi Markets, LOVER quickly achieved cult status with an international fanbase that included celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Sophie Lowe and Candice Swanepoel. By welcoming LOVER to its suite of owned-brands, THE ICONIC aims to continue driving holistic growth for its leading Designer category by drawing on its successes in developing both its own and supporting partner brands.
Complete with an evolved contemporary aesthetic, the brand’s SS21 return sees LOVER enter a new era of Australian design, harnessing trend and modernity to guide the label’s refreshed creative direction. While the brand’s celebrated feminine aesthetic continues, the summer-inspired SS21 collection embraces radiant colour, bespoke prints, premium fabrications and sleek silhouettes to reignite the spirit and cult repute of LOVER for a new generation of designer customers.
Commenting on the launch, THE ICONIC CEO, Erica Berchtold, says: “THE ICONIC is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year and we’re thrilled to mark this milestone by welcoming iconic Australian designer favourite, LOVER, to our suite of exclusive brands. We’re humbled to be the new custodians of one of Australia’s most-loved labels that we know has a special place in the hearts and wardrobes of so many of our contemporary fashion customers.”
