COMELY HANDBAG
These rainbow dresses, formed from hand stitched elastic bandages, are little more than extended swimsuit shapes.
Herve Leger learned his craft working with Karl Lagerfeld, designing swimwear first for Fendi, then Chanel. Then he created the collection of Elastic fabric Casual
His forte is remoulding the body bag is more concerned with perfecting the female from than he is about passing trends. He claims that the woman bags he designs for is, “fed up with the vagaries of fashion.
She does not give a damn about trends, she refuses to be a feminine hanger.” His use of stretchy bands for his “bender bag collection” means also clothes are often compared with those of Azzedine Alaia, but Leger arguably pioneered the glamorous simplicity and uninterrupted line of the body con (body – conscious) look of the 80s, and his name is synonymous with the look.
The label is now known as Herve Leger by Max Azria after it was acquired by the BCBG Max Azria group in 1998.
