The luxury brand, Hervé Léger is loved the world-over for its super sexy bandage dresses, the maisons very own homage to the female form. And with the new Creative Director, Christian Juul Nielsen on board, he’s decided to take the label back to its Parisian roots, with a collection that’s underpinned with a sexy, nonchalant easiness.

Who better to collaborate with than the multidisciplinary fashion darling that is Julia Restoin Roitfeld. With many strings to her bow, fashion is woven into her life in some form or another, whether it be as an art director, model, or in this case, as a designer — cue the collaborative collection with Hervé Léger for Pre-Fall 2021.

“Julia is a true dream girl for me. Seeing her ideas further fuel my designs was an incredible experience for me as a designer and I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished with this capsule.” Christian Juul Nielsen, Creative Director of Hervé Léger

Consisting of a 20-piece capsule collection, Nielsen and Restoin Roitfeld present a line that sees the signature bandage brought right up to date for a modern day appeal.

Expect luxe sheer and opaque knits that line the body to give a silhouette that is both timeless and comfortable, and this carries though to tops, skirts, and dresses. Then there is contemporary tailoring in the form of blazers and jumpsuits (complete with a daring sweetheart neckline) to sharpen up the knits. The color palette may be minimal but in true Léger style, it’s impactful with pieces in black, neutrals, white, and head-turning, hot red.

The pair have also incorporated sustainability into the collaboration line, as the classic yet thoroughly contemporary range of clothing pieces have been designed to last and loved, making use of ​sustainable yarns that are in accordance with the Global Recycled Standard.
