Herve Leger - back on the fashion radar

[Meg]

ale - do you know who carries his current line under this new name then?

I saw a couple of the dresses when I was last at Selfridges and they were gorgeous. The cuts are amazing so reissues is not so much an issue.....but I don't think I could ever fit into the dresses! eek!

Selfridges range was very poor I was very disappointed in it.

Harrods will be selling the Resort range mid December. I hope they stock a better collection.

Don't go to the Paris store thinking they will have a great range of designs. I was very disappointed at the mostly basic range. The sales lady told me that most of the stuff you see on celebs is either costume made or only available in the LA store.

I called the LA store like last winter and she acted as if the "bandage" dresses were foreign. I mean, do you want people to buy them or not

I'll be in NY wedding shopping, and definitely want a cocktail piece for a my reception!

I know the LA press office is much the same when I asked them about specific dresses and they did not have much of a clue.

He lost the rights to his name? So are all those dresses that Kim Kardashian wears BCBG or Herve? I'm confused!

they are Herve Leger

[Meg]

But the Herve Leger name is owned by BCBG and thus they are probably manufacturered out the same factories that BCBG already has associations with.

Referring to the brands rather than the designer behind the brands, "Herve Leger"'s quality seems inferior to "Herve Leroux's". I had the opportunity to view and try them on in the same store recently. Leger's material is thinner in comparison to Leroux's, which used the original bandages/lycra from before Leger was sold to BCBG. Leroux's were firmer and felt like bona fide bandages, which is good for those who required a tighter hold. Leger's just felt like regular thick lycra and workmanship could be better for the price. Most of Leger's dresses required bustier shapes to fit well.

thanks for the in person comparison, thats very helpful. Do you know who will be carrying the Leroux line?

Celebrity favourite Herve Leger by Max Azria will stage its first show in February during New York Fashion Week. The show, which will take place at Bryant Park on 3 February. It will mark the first time sine the mid-90s that the collection, originally shown in Paris, has been presented on a runway. The event will also mark the first time that an American designer (Max Azria) will produce three fashion shows for three different collections during one fashion week.

Azria will show his contemporary collection, BCBG Max Azria on 1 February and his designer line MaxAzria on 4 February.

Max Azria designing Herve Leger?

Wow that sounds like a big F-U to Herver who is trying to make his Leroux label better. I thought they were discontinuing the baking of Lerger if Herver was going to do a Leroux label. You'd think Max Azria would have better ethics. Does he not have enough money. He should understand he's a deisger.
