Herve Leger by Max Azria

It's not unusual for a ]]>Herve Leger Outlet]]> bandage dress to have a whiff of danger and power. And Max and Lubov Azria seem to like it that way. For Spring, they built on last season's armor theme with crafty detail and tribal motifs to create a look that read dystopian warrior princess. (Game of Thrones fans, think of a wardrobe fit for a Khaleesi and you've got it.) Things were fierce enough with braided harnesses and rows of cylindrical beads approximating golden artillery, but strapped and buckled gladiator boots to the knee underscored the point a bit too heavily at times. Though the scraped-back hair and minimal makeup made these girls look not-to-be-messed-with, no one ever said that being tough precluded luxury. To that end, the ikat-textured jacquard glowed with rose gold, silver, or gold foil. On one dress, a zigzag pattern was picked out in a barrelful of seed beads, the kind of thing you might trade for cattle in a Mad Max world.

There's something to be said for the winning formula in place at Hervé Léger. Those sexy-as-hell bandage dresses have been selling like hotcakes season after season. Designers Max and Lubov Azria simply tweak a few variables each cycle to keep it fresh. The Resort lineup featured punchy prints inspired by the likes of Stephen Sprouse and Keith Haring. And the signature dresses were updated with cutouts and fun, enamel paillettes. Overall, the collection was sportier than usual. Color-blocked leggings with flattering streaks of cobalt blue down the side put a spin on the skintight look and had a scuba-ish feel. Swimwear (which the brand reportedly can't keep in stock) also received top billing. These maillots were more jaw-droppers than head-turners; the Azrias knows the Hervé Léger customer is looking to flaunt what she's got.
