Hervé Léger Spring 2024 Ready-to-Wear

“I want to give her legs,” said Michelle Ochs, clasping an Hervé Léger bandage dress from her debut collection for the label during a preview. “Add dimension, movement, and fluidity, that’s the goal.” That starts with ease. “I want to relax her a little,” Ochs added. “It’s still polished, but I want to offer her more.” The tried-and-true bandage dresses are present and correct—Ochs knows better than to mess with a classic—but she also explored what stretch looks like across other categories. Her timing couldn’t be better. Shapewear is having a moment (hello, Skims), but what Ochs is doing does shapewear one better: Léger outer-layers eradicate the need for shapewear while keeping the same support and comfort. Ochs’s Léger woman is still sexy, but she lives in the real world.
