Fall ’08 Herve Leger by Max Azria

Bondage just got a little more mainstream. For many many seasons, I’ve come to appreciate the bondage dresses that have been ‘spray painted’ onto many celebrities’ bodies. This collection of bondage dresses was adorned with beads, feather, applique and colour panels. Also seen on the catwalk were gorgeous knee and full length dresses that had loads of volume in it. Fabulous touches of romantic teal and amethyst stood out among the darker, sexier colour palette.  The refreshing take on the corseted pants added a touch of freshness and newness to the collection. Touches of flowers were added to the fabulous dresses, like the red rose one on the dark violet dress, among others. One of the most gorgeous dresseswas the off-white dress with organza skirt and the silver bands down the neckline. The colour is fresh and unexpected for Fall, but yet so muted and wearable at the same time. The hair and make-up for this show was just so minimalistic. The skin was kept natural and glowy. Looks like this time round, make-up was kept to a minimal touch of just tinted moisturizer after a moisturizing mask to boost the dewy-ness and overall look of the skin. The hair was kept straight and well-groomed. Headpieces with feathers also crowned the models’ straight hair.
