Laird Borrelli-Persson of Style.com described the show as “Sex on heels” and I couldn’t agree more. The Herve Leger dress is the go-to dress if you want to turn heads on the red carpet. No matter how innocent the face or imperfect the figure, you’ll be dripping with sex appeal while wearing the dress.
Last season marked the revamp of the collection, which was brought back by Max Azria. Mr. Azria did a great job at turning the bondage dress into a complete collection then. And this time the collection was even more versatle than the previous.
The classic bondage dresses makes you think of just that: bondage. The bands, which seem to hold the models’ bodies captive, are even more intricate this time around with the addition of bands going in different directions. Some also contain the addition of beading, without going overboard.
Other dresses contained futuristic prints, some with a touch of color. These dress stray away from the default Herve Leger look, but is still dripping in sex appeal.
Max Azria has also added the sensibility of separates. Not appropriate for the office, but maybe for a dinner party.
And of course, the collection contains the perfect dresses for red carpet and big event. The beige dress trimmed in beaded bands is my absolute favorite.
Lastly, swimsuits have been added to the collection. Or should I say lingerie. These swimsuits seem too hot to waste wearing in the water. I’m sure they’ll be used to many spreads during the next season.
As always, the super thin models, don’t do this collection much justice. Can’t wait to see these dresses on the red carpet.
