Herve Leger by Max Azria overbooked their runway show this season and even though I missed it this time around, the Spring 2014 collection is undeniably on my favorites list. The collection is city-chic in a palette of white, black, greys and blues. Zipper detailing, structured corset belts and leather add a hard edge to body-con bandage dresses. Geometric prints, crochet detailing, jacquards, fringe, and layered, ruffled hems also play a part in the collection. The swimwear is just as sleek, including zip bandeau tops. Printed tanks also made its way on the runway, creating more options for day to evening looks.

Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2013

Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2013 is inspired by artist duo Les Lalanne, who mixes different elements of reality, nature and a sense of imagination into their artwork. It's all in the details - from engineered jacquards, caviar and croco puffa technique to geometric, waterfall and encrusted beading and stud details, transforming the bandage dresses and separates into sexy, opulent works of art.  

Gunmetal, malachite, midnight, alabaster and black dominate the color palette. The collection features bandage zip-front dresses, jackets and skirts, crop tops and leggings, jersey sheer crewneck tops layered underneath, goatskin/fox fur hoodies and leather peplum harnesses. The looks are accessorized with geometric and asymmetrical clutches, black leather boots and ankle-cuff booties, and caps with bandage detail for an urban edge.
