The Cult of Herve Leger

Herve Leger’s body-con ‘bandage dress‘ first hit the scene in the 1980s. In an era known for volume – shoulder pads, MC Hammer pants, big hair, puff ball prom dresses – Leger’s sculpted sheaths that shaped and smoothed the feminine silhouette in all the right places were a breath of fresh air.
“Created for a glamorous and sophisticated woman,Herve Leger dresses designs were an immediate hit and paved the way for Azzedine Alaia in the 90s and Christopher Kane, Proenza Schouler, and Preen’s body-conscious collections.
