Hervé Léger and Max Azria deserve each other. Hervé Léger trained with Azzedine Alaïa, then started his own brand, which was basically a copy of everything Alaïa did. Can I just clarify that Azzedine Alaïa, NOT Hervé Léger, was considered the “King of Cling” and it is Alaïa who pretty much invented the body con dress. Alaïa also did the bandage dress first! Now, the Hervé Léger brand is living off the bandage dress, probably because Max Azria is a fast fashion designer (see BCBG) not luxury. Maybe Victoria Beckham and Hervé Léger can merge into one brand, make a tight dress, and sell that one same dress every season, over and over again.
I Love…
the sleeve details on this jacket.
the fins on this skirt, the bodice seams and the sleeve. If you are going to make a tight dress over and over again, may as well do something with it.
I Loathe…
that this knit detail is signature Alaia, yet Herve Leger is still blatantly copying him on the catwalk.
the bandage dress. SO over. Can we please move on?
