Max Azria is at his prime this season. I feel that he doesn't get enough credit for his work, often overshadowed by bigger names who don't live up to all the media hype. This season, he exemplified versatility by executing completely different collections for his own BCBG, MaxAzria & his newly acquired label, Herve Leger. The collections were absolute hits, and as each model strutted down the runway, progressively unveiling the collection, I could only gape in awe.
For BCBG, each look was cinched at the waist with a leather belt that is surely going to be the trend du jour. The collection epitomized the 40's look ala Katherine Hepburn, stained from a palette of pale hues that convey pristine girlishness.
When it came to reinventing the classic bandage dress, Azria excelled in wrangling his style into Leger's. The result? A decadent yet classy sex appeal. I love the addition of the nude gloves, which again, is very 40's.
For his collection of the same name, MaxAzria, there was darker (in terms of color used, the studded belts, and tomboyish ease of clothing) of the lady. I say lady, because he manages
to pull of the whole innerwear as outerwear gimmick and not come off as tacky. Negligees, bustiers and corsets peeked out subtly throughout the collection, which otherwise hosted practical pieces for women on the go.
