Show Review: Herve Leger by Max Azria Spring 2013
The Look
The strong and sexy image that Max Azria gives the Herve Leger women is defined through his signature bodycon bandage dresses. But its keeping the constructed look fresh from season to season that’s Azria’s forte. This spring, the Leger lady came dressed in the classic bandage dress, revealing bold two-tone mosaic patterns, in combinations of sapphire blue, black, brown, grey, and ivory.
Some looks had sharp lines, accentuated by leather harnesses, heavy buckles, and a range of collar cuts, while others leaned towards a less severe look as the sharp lines smoothed into sensual brocade shapes embellished on the dresses. As the lines softened, so too did the colours and shapes, taking the figure-hugging design and restyling it into a drop-waist and kick-flare number. The (not-so-spring) Spring 2013 collection left us gawping at the runway with this totally fierce and seductive Leger look.
