Inspired by the stained glass windows of the magnificent Basilica De La Sagrada Familia by Antoni Gaudi, Hervé Léger takes us on no ordinary journey for Fall 2015 as Designer Lubov Azria explains, "The first part of the show is all about nature and everything's blooming; it's gorgeous. The second part is passion; we kind of interpreted it as more gothic, like rock and roll, a little edgier. The third is glory, which is kind of interpreted art nouveau style, which is beading, embroidery and beautiful technique."
But for actress Michelle Rodriguez and TV Personality La La Anthony, the clothes are about more than how they look...it's how wearing them makes a woman feel. "If I'm ever feeling sexual, I throw on Hervé Léger. That's just logical to me," shares Rodriguez. Anthony adds, "Oh my God, I love their clothes. I feel like every woman instantly looks sexy when they put them on."

Brilliantly busy jacquards mesmerize in rich emerald and sapphire tones. Glass beading, metallic studding, leather strapping and bandaged booties draw the eye, with a mix of soft whites and black making the more vibrant body-hugging silhouettes even more eye-popping.
Anchoring the look is androgynous hair. Hair Stylist Orlando Pita explains, "It is a gelled back kind of boyish look in the front. I want it to look sleek. It has two rolls that end in a ponytail in the back. It's a very confident strong woman so this hair style kind of evokes all that."
Of the makeup, Azria says, "The makeup is just... They just look angelic."
To achieve the look, Makeup Artist Val Garland says, "So it's all about this gorgeous bronze glow. We've got sort of a terracotta on the eye, on the cheek and on the lip. Very easy. Very rich."
Azria sums it up with a smile. "Just trying to, you know, do something different," says the designer, "But also that stays within the theme of the collection."
