We aren't the only ones falling head-over-heels for the
Herve Leger by Max Azria Fall 2009 Collection> -- Not one but
two runway models took a tumble during the
New York Fashion Week show, but they couldn't have looked more fierce doing it! With its parade of tightly-bound bandage dresses with metallic paneling, snakeskin details, and all sorts of shimmery embellishments like fringe, tiling, and beading, the Sunday night show was full of life and movement despite the impossibly snug fit of the dresses! Some of Hollywood's chicest stars were present to witness the heavily shoulder-padded fall preview, including
Sophia Bush,
Jessica Stroup, and
January Jones, all in their own
Herve Leger favorites. While some commented that the collection lacked a certain brightness, the pieces undoubtedly took full advantage of its subdued color scheme, utilizing hues ranging from limey olive and deep brown to gunmetal chrome, and instead of bursts of color, contrasted neutrals with shiny metallics for a pop of fashionable flash.
