HERVE LEGER FW09 NEW YORK 02-15-09Local women who can rock the second-skin bandage dresses this label is known for will love fall’s fierce tribal theme. This season’s gray and dusty purple looks are a great update to Leger’s basic black bandage dress. The Gist: The earthy, neutral color palette Max and Lubov Azria worked for this collection is accented by animal print inserts, giving the bandage motif a textural effect. The strong, built-up shoulder on many of the dresses emphasizes the collection’s modern female warrior feel.
