Herve Leger Presentation

As the lights dimmed and everyone took their position, models clad in classic Herve Leger bandage dresses, embellished with fringe, accentuated with harnesses, and completed with gladiator heels sauntered one by one down the runway to the dark and sensual sound of 'Equinox', which like the previous season's HL show music is a track by the anonymous and #cult DJ/producer Zomby. Unlike the BCBG MAXAZRIA show whose front row was full of celebrities, HL was filled with fashionistas and classic fashion week eccentrics. The feeling amongst the crowd was very personal and all very fashionable at the same time. The intimacy didn't stop at the catwalk in front of the 'Herve Leger' logo though, it felt as if you could walk backstage without anyone saying anything. Although the pieces were each stunning in their own right, the total feeling of the show was to be most remembered and adored. These garments hold the essence and purvey it to anyone who wasn't there. Click below to see more!

Hervé Léger Spring 2012

This afternoon Jordan and I went to see the Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2012 show. The show was started with Salamander, a dark hypnotic and ethereal track from Zomby's new LP Dedication, which mirrored the mood of the collection. Hervé Léger's signature body-con bandage style dresses, which are known for their femininity and elegance, were taken to a new level this season: a new level of sexy. Tall beautiful models drifting whimsically in well stitched dresses, most baring cut outs, garments made out of straps of leather, fringe, and to finish it details of silver and gold. The collection also had other pieces including a beautiful little jacket and a cut out bathing suit.

What stuck with me most were the garments made out of straps of leather. They remind me of a poster designed by Dutch Graphic designer Wim Crouwel for an exhibition featuring the work of French painter, sculptor, and filmmaker Fernand Léger. Crouwel designed the word Leger on the poster to be reminiscent of the artist's work.

Thank you to Michael and Cliff for inviting us! We love you both!
