(Hervé Léger dress and sandals)


It was such an honor to attend Hervé Léger, never mind actually get to wear one of their signature bandage dresses to the show. The hand painted skeleton-like print and strong shoulders made this one of the pieces I had fallen in love with from the fall collection, so when it came down to this one and a cutout side dress at the fitting I went for it.

The show was just ridiculously good..I'm always astounded at how they can stay so strong with the body conscious silhouette yet find new ways to make it spellbindingly fresh. This time it was sandy nudes and whites, intricately woven mesh, clean braiding and knotting, almost galactic marbled prints, and even some denim. And the clogs! I'm obsessed with the clogs. The age old problem of the way the foot so easily falls out of them was adeptly solved with a double ankle strap. Yesss.

Max and Lubov were both so sweet in about a million ways that they didn't have to be, so a huge thank you to them..so surreal to hear that they've been following my blog.

You look amazing, Rumi! This dress was designed for YOU! Actually Herve Leger was my favorite show of NYC fashion week! I just love how they re-interpreted their classic cuts.

We just got back from PARIS fashion-week! Here are some pics:

The clogs are really coming up all over the place for spring! These are, by far, my favorite take on them.
And I'd love to see a full, standing up shot of the dress. Looks gorgeous.

Let's get totally real here: Herve only invited you with the fledgling hope of keeping their brand alive another season. Hustling $1200 rayon/nylon/spandex i.e. plasticplasticplastic dresses will be no easy task in this horrendous economy. They absolutely must exhaust every avenue possible.

Do you know that it is not Herve Léger who design those clothes.

His name was buy by an actionnair few years ago.
Now he designs under the name brand : Hervé Leroux because he was fired by the actionnair.

The Calvin Show said...

I feel like Lubov has such a misunderstood attitude. I thought she was very lovely when I met her [and accidentally ran into her with a model's board] but a few other people kept going on about how she's a tyrant. Anyway, you look like the quintessential Herve girl!!

The last pic of you is not your best. There goes your makeup again... you look completely washed out. And somehow managed to lose your upper lip in the process. Lubov is divinity personified.
