Herve Leger Has Been to Highlight the Curves of Wo

Herve Leger has been to highlight the curves of women. Herve Leger can almost be called the “King of Stripes. Practically every one of his designs,herve leger, has stripes or bands in some form or other. These colourful designs are made from elastic bandages hand-stitched together and are very distinctive. Herve Leger was born in 1957 in a village in the North of France. In 1973 he won a place in art school, so he moved to Paris. He started his career as a hair dresser in Maniatis Salon, but felt that this was not his forte. So in 1975 he changed his profession to hat-making which he felt would lead him into the fashion world. He designed and made up a group of hats reminiscent of Christian Bernard and Elsa Schiaparelli, for Venus et Neptune, the trendiest shop on the Left Bank in Paris.
In 1977 Leger got his first break, when the Italian knitwear designer Tan Guidecelli took him to work for him, where he learned to cut and construct patterns, select fabrics, and do other tasks essential for a man dreaming of being a couturier. In 1980 impressed by Leger’s work, fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld took him under his wing, and sent him to Rome for further training. Till 1984 Leger assisted Karl Lagerfeld to produce extravagant fur coats for Fendi in Rome, where Lagerfield was the designer. As Lagerfield had taken over Chanel in 1983, he also called on Leger as his assistant there to help design its couture and ready-to-wear collections. However, after two collections, Leger felt he should concentrate on free-lance work. During the year of 1984, Leger designed the Cadette collection in Milan, the Haute Couture collection for Lanvin, and a Pret-a-Porter collection for Princess Diane von Furstenburg.This article is posted by boffee.
