Herve Leger on Models: They Don't Make Them Like They Used To
Designer Herve Leger, currently known as Herve L. Leroux has revealed that he will no longer show his collections at Fashion Week because of the models walking the runway.

He says that the models these days are very uninspiring because they’re all too skinny. So a size negative 0 isn’t hot?

"If I had to go back to catwalk presentations I would be in a panic...Already the models I find are too skinny, too sad. And I knew the age of the super top models, Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford, who were always lively and smiling," Léger said.

The Herve Leger label has been under the Max Azria brand since 1999, but Herve created his own label called Herve L. Leroux in 2000. He says the name was actually suggested by his good friend Karl Lagerfeld.

It’s actually funny that he is so inspired by Karl Lagerfeld, who has on many occasions revealed his dislike for fat people.

"No one wants to see curvy women," Lagerfeld has said. "You've got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly," he added.

I do have to agree with Herve on the fact that there are not real supermodels these days. The days of Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, and Linda Evangelista are definitely long gone.
Herve Leger Tightens Things Up With Leather and Lace
The Spring 2011 Herve Leger by Max Azria collection had a lot of…surprise-surprise…bandage dresses!

The collection was inspired by a modern-day Marie Antoinette and we saw a lot of creams and pinks along with lace for their bandage dresses.

While viewing the collection, we could already tell that we are gonna be seeing a lot of these sexy and girly dresses on the red carpet.

Carmen Electra vs. Stephanie Pratt: Herve Leger Knockouts!
It’s the battle of the bandage dresses! Carmen Electra and Hills star Stephanie Pratt clearly love Herve Leger and so do we!

Carmen Electra wore the Herve Leger Ombre one shoulder dress when she hosted Crown Nightclub in Las Vegas. She is so naturally pretty that if she wore a trash bag it would look great, but Herve Leger definitely does up her sex appeal.

Stephanie Pratt wore the strapless version of the blue bandage dress this week at the wrap party for The Hills. Stephanie has completely transformed her style since her original days on the show.

We did some scooping and found the Herve Leger bandage dress that Stephanie and Carmen love so much. You too can own the same dress for a whopping $1,590.

Now it’s time to vote! Both blonde beauties looked great, but only one could really ‘own’ the dress. So you tell us who rocked the frock? Carmen or Stephanie?
Mariah Carey Defends Her Golden Globes Dress
Mariah Carey did not make it on any best dressed list for her outfit at the Golden Globes.

In fact, many people ended up criticising her for her dress because they felt like it was too tight and her boobs were popping out of her skin-tight Hervé Léger dress.

Mariah doesn't understand why people think it wasn't appropriate because she feels like she actually dressed pretty conservatively.

“I dressed very conservatively,” she said. “My dress was long and my shoulders were covered. I don’t know what all the fuss is about.”

If she is comparing her outfit to the rest of the outfits she usually wears, it was pretty conservative. But overall, the dress which was pretty, just seemed to be a few sizes too small.

Stars Flock to Herve Leger Fashion Show

It’s the dress that graced many red carpets this year, worn by almost every young Hollywood starlet. So its no surprise that Young Hollywood packed the tent at the Herve Leger Fall 2009 collection over the weekend.

Recently revamped by Max Azria the house is an iconic fixture in timeless fashion. The collection is simple, elegant and clean. We love the simple lines that Azria delivered in the collection. The fabric hugs, and lifts the curves delivering an always-sexy silhouette no matter the shape. We love the bright colors, as well as muted tones that the house uses, not to mention the always-fabulous color blocking technique.

Sophia Bush and Michelle Trachtenberg looked oddly similar in muted charcoal bandage dresses. Lucy Liu showed up in all black, and Danielle Panabaker rocked a little lime, while Jessica Stroup chose a pale green Leger.

And hey... just because the actress's are not on set working does not mean they still can’t look at possible red carpet options for their next premiere! What better place than Herve Leger? You can check out the houses collection of perfect cocktail dresses at Herve Leger. Happy Hunting!

Yes We Can Fashion!

The premiere for Jim Carrey's new film "Yes Man" was held yesterday in Los Angeles last night and while we love Jim, we also love stars who do not play it safe on the red carpet.

The sisters Deschanel hit the red carpet in great looks that represent the young Hollywood set. Bijou Phillips was dripping in a gold dress, with a black belt to add a little shape to her flawless figure. Last but definitely not least there was the first lady of the night, Jenny McCarthy who looked amazing in her skin tight dress.

We always live by the quote "Go big or go home" and it is safe to say that the former "Singled Out" host was not going home anytime soon. Jenny rocked a midnight blue with black striped detailing on her Hervé Léger by Max Azria Fall 2008 bandage dress.

Now not to toot our own horn, but we wrote about these great dress'' weeks ago! We love how sexy they are and completely slim down any figure. Although they are pretty expensive, think of it as an investment!

Trend Report: Herve Leger Bandage Dress
 Image by wenn.com
Is it just us or does it seem like everyone in Hollywood is wearing the same dress? It's not that we don't LOVE Herve Leger as much as any of our favorite stylish celebs, but we just don't understand their desire to wear a dress that has already been worn over a thousand times already.

Note to Celebs: Everything in Moderation! If one celeb wears the dress; a copycat crime is not punishable by the fashion police. However, if 10 of you are photographed wearing the SAME dress in various different colors and cuts, we are going to have to blacklist you (at least for the time being).

We are always anticipating the next fashion victim so please, MOVE ON from the Bandage Dress. Herve's people called, he's tired of parading all over town already!

Nicole Richie Disappoints!
Nicole Richie stepped out last night for the Women in Film Crystal+Lucy Awards. Nicole definitely disappointed us with her vintage Missoni dress. Those loose dresses are so 2006, it's all about wearing body hugging dresses these days. Nicole has a fabulous body and she should show it off!

Nicole could have taken some tips from the folks that went to the The Whitney Contemporaries' Art Party and Auction at Skylight event last night because all the ladies there looked FABULOUS!

Rachel Bilson, Tinsley Mortimer and Hana Soukupova attended the event sporting sexy Herve Leger body hugging dresses. They get an A+ in our book. Nicole on the other hand disappointed us for the first time in a long time. We give her a C-.

Audrina Patridge showed up to the Maxim Hot 100 party looking absolutely AMAZING!! Audrina has always had great sense of fashion, but she has definitely stepped it up a notch recently.

Last night Audrina opted for a Herve Leger strapless bustier dress in lime color. It’s hard to look bad when you put on a body hugging Herve Leger dress, but Audrina does have the body for that dress.

If you like the dress as much as we do, you can scoop the look at http://www.intermixonline.com/jump.jsp?itemID=20903&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=... " target="_blank">Intermix for a measly $1,050. The measly part was definitely sarcastic.
