Photo: Looking nervous as ever before walking the conveyor belt, Jane gets zipped into her dress. With a walk that lacked strength, Jane should have just sat this one out.
When the models ran, stumbled, and tripped down the conveyor belt runway this week, all we could think was, “Don’t rip your Herve Leroux dress!” — which was followed by, “Who the heck is Herve Leroux?” Herve Leger we most certainly have heard of. His bandage dresses have been a staple of sexy wardrobes for decades, most recently worn by everyone from Lauren Conrad to Bethenny Frankel.
Turns out, the designer now known as Herve Leroux is Herve Leger. In 1999, Herve lost the rights to commercially use his name, and his fashion empire — built on the success of his signature bandage dresses — became the property of BCBG by Max Azria. That explains why so many BCBG dresses utilize the banded technique, often amounting to cheap knock-offs of Parisian couture originals. But when you can’t afford Herve Leger (and believe us, we can’t), BCBG just has to do. Check out our sampling of Herve Leroux-inspired banded dresses below.
A few months after he lost Herve Leger, the designer created Herve Leroux as a boutique couture house producing essentially the same line as under the previous name. Much of Herve Leroux’s work now centers around selling draped jersey gowns, like the ones featured on ANTM. So, that solves that mystery. Now if only someone could explain why they held a fashion show in a highway tunnel...
