Hervé Léger’s new bodycon collection combines elegant eveningwear with eco credentials
The French fashion house that famously pioneered the bodycon look in the ’80s has collaborated with Julia Restoin Roitfeld to relaunch the form-fitting silhouette – only this time, reconceiving the look with sustainability in mind
Few brands are able to build an entire legacy on one key silhouette, yet that is exactly what Hervé Léger did with its iconic bodycon dress – and the Parisian brand has become synonymous with form-fitting shapes that perfectly flatter the contours of the feminine silhouette.
First introduced in 1985, these bodycon creations remain a failsafe choice for all manner of formal occasions. And, thanks to an innovative, heat-activated design, each dress moulds specifically to the wearer so that it fits like a glove. It’s no surprise that some 30 years after its runway debut in Paris, the endlessly chic and ever-comfortable bandage dress remains as popular as it has ever been.
This season, however, the famed, fitted dress – initially conceived by the label’s founder Hervé Peugnet – has undergone a radical transformation that catapults this classic style into this eco-focused age. While, aesthetically, the silhouettes within the collection remain as elegant as they have always been – think strappy black dresses with feminine sweetheart necklines, elegant knee-length styles in vivacious reds and long-sleeved minis with sporty mesh accents that will add an athleisure mood to your eveningwear wardrobe. An Hervé Léger dress will be an enduring go-to for events where you want to look polished with minimal effort – simply add a pair of strappy heels and shrug on an oversized blazer for a masterclass in proportion-playing.

The new Hervé Léger x Julia Restoin Roitfeld collection was conceived with true wardrobe mileage in mind – enduring colorways are deliberately used instead of more season-driven hues, to ensure these are pieces you will love for years to come. Sustainability has never looked so sleek.
