OK, first of all, I must say that Herve Leger is BLOWING UP! His bandage dresses are one everyone, from Lindsay Lohan, to Kim Kardashian and even Canadian VJ Leah Miller on the So You Think You can dance Canada version (the stunning red dress she was wearing on the last episode that I got a chance to see when I was in Toronto over the last weekend).

I was instantly obsessed with the cut-put dress that Blake Lively wore in Gossip Girl in the episode where Serena’s character wanted to have a 3 people date with Dan and his nerdy new love interest earlier on in the season.

So from Red Carpet Fashion, I found out that Herve Leger dresses are supposed to contour and shape your body strategically to make you look hotter. I would say yes it works.

My closest encounter with Leger was ‘touching’ one of his bandage dresses at a small boutique in Chicago’s Buck Town neighbourhood. Hehe. The dress was entirely silvery gray, like the gray in Serena’s dress above and it felt really heavy and coarse. I expected it to be light and shiny and a spandexy material, but instead it really did feel like giant elastic bandages stictched together. It looked plain on the rack but I’m sure it would have looked smoking hot if I had had the guts to try it on, in its nearly $2000 glory.

I could not have summed up the current love that Herve Leger is feeling better than this article by Red Carpet Fashion Awards: http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2007/10/celebrities-loveherve-leger.html
