Runway Report: Hervé Léger by Max Azria Spring 2010
Runway Report · September 13, 2009 · 0 Comments
Staying true to the philosophy that is Hervé Léger, Max and Lubov Azria showed a collection of short bandage dresses for spring 2010.
As ever the Azrias worked to freshly embellish and push forward the Léger silhouette — last season it was all about the padded shoulder (worn today by front row guest Mischa Barton) — and this season the classic 80s micro was updated by tie-dyeing, crocheting, beading, and braiding the ubiquitous strips of second-skin fabric.
The focus on handcraftmanship was evident in the details. According to Lubov Azria backstage, "It was important for us to dip dye each strip of denim fabric and to hand-sew all of the metallic embroidery."
Standout pieces from the collection include a black knotted tank dress layered over a knit slip, a linen cord corset top, cork-heeled platform shoes, and — in a flirty departure from the tough bandage look — a flared chiffon skirt embroidered with ribbon.

Will Hemlines at Henri Bendel Save Us?
feature · October 10, 2008 · 4 Comments
A little birdie at Henri Bendel sent us a note today reminding us about the correlation the connection between good economic times and higher hemlines.
From what we can tell the theory goes something like this:
Financial analysts have loosely used it to determine where the economy is headed. So far it’s been pretty accurate. In the '20s and '60s, hemlines were at a high and so was the stock market. And in the '30s and '40s, the stock market was so low that women were almost tripping on their skirts. The hemline theory was also on the ball in 1987. Miniskirts were all the rage, and the stock market was at a matching high. But then the market quickly crashed in October, right when designers such as Bill Blass decided that miniskirts looked ridiculous. Hemlines dropped and so did the market.
In which case all of those sexy minidresses we are seeing on the runways of Balmain, Herve Leger and Versace might just be our ticket to better times. In which case if this a potential buy strategy for Henri Bendel could they just be saving us from the recession?
