Herve Leger Fall 2015 collection

For Fall 2015, Herve Leger by Max Azria draws its inspiration from the magnificent basilica de la sagrada famlia by Antoni Gaudi. One of the most outstanding figures of the Catalan culture, Gaudi developed a highly expressive language of his own and a body work that speaks directly to the senses. The collection journeys through the symbolism captured in three of the Basilica's facades and its outstanding stained glass windows: nativity, passion and glory, which signify the concepts of birth, sacrifice and toil in human nature.

Luxurious couture techniques enrich each surface. Rich, textured jacquards are inspired by the stained glass windows and the celestial ceiling. Stud weavings evoke soaring arches. Tridimensional glass beading suggests warm sunrays, white metallic hand studding and leather applique recall the magnificence of the metal work.

Soft whites, bare and blue haze transition into striking combinations of yellow, teal, and sapphire with flashes of fuchsia and vermillion, while black heightens the vibrant combinations.

Architectural clutch bags, structural harnesses and bandaged booties articulate the powerful undertones of the collection.
