Herve Leger by Max Azria RTW Spring/Summer 2013

Earlier this week we had a chance to see Max Azria's BCBG RTW Spring/Summer 2013 Collection and it was impressive! It's no secret that this French designer has an eye for detail and fabric. Herve Leger's last collection was Resort 2013 where Max played with a lot of color and fit. This time he focused more on prints and glitter. With only five swimwear pieces, less than the last HL collection, with a lot of cutouts and details the show was great. Some pieces were very futuristic and some had a hint of glam, next to that they even included a pair of pants. Nude was their theme of color in clothing and with make-up. Hair side-swept with one side over the front of the shoulder the girls strutted in black and nude heels.
The Herve Leger label is famous for its bandage-skin-tight designs. Max' other label is BCBG which is a more relaxed collection.

The 63 year old designer has had Beyonce, Rachel Bilson, Sophia Bush, Halle Berry, Fergie and Angelina Jolie as customers. Surely enough I can't wait to see more celebs in these bandage dresses.

Here's the video for the show:

Here are a couple of my favorite looks:

Here are the rest of the looks:

 

Max Azria included more variety and prints than normally. He also put more volume into the below-the-waist pieces. That will make people who always say that the Herve Leger collection is not realistic enough, so happy. Some find that his designs are not for the average women, because they're skin tight.

I can't wait to see who is going to wear one of them on the red carpet first. Did you like their runway show and did you fav make it into my favs list? Let me know!

Much Love,

Jason Wu RTW Spring Summer 2013

Surely you can understand that I was really looking forward to Jason Wu's show and he didn't disappoint one bit. He went classic black and white with a modern twist for most looks. This collection is in so many ways sexy and feminine and some looks even have a hint of female empowerment. I find it so admiring if a male designer captures the modern successful business woman. Who more to do it than the young and talented Jason. Lace, leather, black and white is what the collection is. More than that it also has two or three peach/orange pieces with a waist peplum. More importantly work pants and high-waisted shorts. To sum up there's something for every woman who needs to go anywhere.

Jason Wu

Jason is young, only 29 and turning 30 at the end of this month September 27th, and has already designed for First Lady Michelle Obama. First Lady of Fashion Michelle and Jason met through Andre Leon Talley and since then she has been a frequent customer. Jason Wu also designed Michelle Obama's dress at the inaugural ball, yes the beautiful one shoulder floor-length dress. That is probably the most memorable dress anyone in politics has ever worn.

I spot Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn and Cara Delevingne as one of the red lip-ed models. Both Jourdan and Cara Delevingne - and also David Gandy - are up for Model of the Year at the BFA (British Fashion Awards). Miss Jourdan Dunn won this award back in 2008. Davind Gandy and Jourdan Dunn were both in the All-star Closing Ceremony of this Year's Olympics.

Jason chose classic background music for this collection, here's the video:

I'm really looking forward to seeing my favorite designers' Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week shows for Ready To Wear Spring Summer 2013, but this is definitely one of my favorite shows so far. I'm also looking forward to discovering more talented designers, it's always great to see new fresh faces on the runway. Has your favorite designer shown their Ready To Wear collection yet? And did you like Jason Wu's collection? Leave a comment and let me know!
