I think Herve Leger is kind of in between a rock and a hard place.
If they stick to what they're good at (bodycon, bandage etc), it lacks imagination and every collection is repetitive - no end of colours, cuts or cutouts can get away from that.
If they try different ideas, at best it takes away from what Herve are good at, at worst it looks plain ugly.
I really like Herve Leger. I think there's a lot of snobbery towards the brand which I think is a bit unfair. I have a few of their dresses and they're extremely flattering and get a lot of wear through being easy to accessorise.
But I do wonder how much mileage the brand has to have a stand-alone collection/show in New York.
