The Lovenia collection is a line of timeless silhouettes from designer Heidi Handler. Handler combines couture fabrics, including cashmeres and linens from Italy and silks and laces from France, with quality American tailoring.
In it’s third season, Heidi Handler’s, Lovenia collection drew inspiration from a variety of luxurious perspectives…”the surreal light of Nice at twilight.” for inspiring her to line pale pink mousseline with gold silk charmeuse for a ruffled cocktail dress to the volume of Cristobal Balenciaga’s gowns from the late 1950s which evoke the ease and elegance found her light cashmere dresses.
“I continue to explore the drop-waist, ‘good-time girl’ proportion of the Roaring Twenties, but am also drawn to the movement of longer dresses with draping and pleating details,” says Handler. “For me, they evoke nights of dancing in grand ballrooms.”
As for whom she pictured when whipping up these billowy confections, Handler says: “I looked to the cool confidence, the ethereal beauty and the femininity of Jean Harlow and Scarlett Johansson.”
