Presenting Hervé Léger’s Sleek New Capsule With Super-Stylist Law Roach
In collaboration with renowned stylist Law Roach, the iconic maison’s sculpted eveningwear delivers after-dark allies for the festive season and beyond
Contemplate Hervé Léger and the mind will likely conjure a sleek, sexy bandage silhouette, its signature bodycon dress becoming the ultimate celebration of the female form. Indeed, upon its launch in the early ’90s, Hervé Léger’s iconic design was crowned an instant classic almost overnight. Featuring clean lines and a sculpted shape, the style — free from superfluous decoration — was a palate cleanser to the statement shoulders, puffed sleeves and oversized silhouettes that dominated during the ’80s; an aesthetic jolt that proved minimalism could pack no less an impact. You simply had to slip on a strappy sandal and go – an effortless ethos that still imbues the brand’s collections today.
Now working with renowned celebrity stylist Law Roach — who counts Bella Hadid and Keke Palmer among his A-list clientele — Hervé Léger’s creative director Christian Juul Nielsen is breathing new life into the brand’s signature after-dark silhouette for FW22. In an exciting collaboration, the duo have delved into the label’s archive to proffer contemporary iterations of its most classic styles. The bandage dress, for example, is reinvented in stripes for a look that feels both decidedly retro and distinctly new. Crafted in a palette of muted stone, black and crisp white, this modern midi would be as ideal for an elegant wedding as it would paired with flats for an aperitivo at sunset.
“It became known as the dress to feel your very best in during its ’90s heyday, and that notion rings true for fall/winter ’22: the bandage dress is as relevant today as it was back then
”
Glamorous and graceful, yet unforgettably sexy, the new iteration of the maison’s red-carpet stalwart recreates the magic of the original design – a style worn by everyone from Kim Kardashian to Taylor Swift for events, while supermodels Linda Evangelista, Helena Christensen and Naomi Campbell showcased it on the runways in an array of colors and lengths. With built-in compression to sculpt and shape female curves, it became known as the dress to feel your very best in during its ’90s heyday, and that notion rings true for fall/winter ’22: the bandage dress is as relevant today as it was back then.
Case in point: no wardrobe is complete without a reliable black dress, and the slinky Hervé Léger x Law Roach full-length design will prove an enduring ally. With a cutout waist and side slit, this silk gown skims the body and refutes the need for accessorizing – a barely-there heel and colorful lip will suffice. An immediate showstopper, it’s ideal for those black-tie events when you’re short on time to pull together a head-to-toe look.
“While few after-dark silhouettes endure across the decades, the Hervé Léger x Law Roach collection presents dresses that are timeless, tasteful and trustworthy
”
Those in the mood to party are sure to love the capsule’s mini design, too. Crafted in a muted honey-hued silk, this dress features beautiful Grecian-style draping from the waist that feels fluid against the triangular brasserie-cut top. Simply slip on an oversized boyfriend blazer and some glitzy chandelier earrings to channel that ’80s disco feel.
