Ugh.. every time I see the show for "Herve Leger" at fashion week I get nauseous. Besides showing a collection that looked like nonfat Balmain (complete with crystalled minidress and one-maxi-shouldered thing), I cannot even fathom how the real Leger must feel to see his name trashed every season...and not being able to do anything.






This is not Leger!! Do not be fooled! this is effin BCBG!
I actually do not mind some of the dresses... but I find it horrible that this is supposed to be the "new" Leger when it is something else entirely. Ask anyone that has handled both the Max Azria and the auth Herve Leger, and they will tell you that there is absolutely no comparison. Real Herve is made of actual bandages and will work miracles on a girl's body, where the Azria is just...really really tight (and mass-produced in China).
Also, Leger was all about the womanly body and larger-than-life personality... at least choose some models that complete the whole Leger look, if you're going there. Nimue Smit is hardly what I would call a fierce bomb of a woman.



Let's pay homage to the REAL Herve... who now goes under "Herve. L. Leroux".



bask in the glory!!

I'M NOT GONNA LIE, I LIKE THE BLACK DRESS NEXT TO THE SEQUINED ONE. I CAN DEFINITELY GET A SUGA DADDY WITH THAT ON!
