Adventures in Copyright: Herve Leger Dresses

Herve Leger AIC.jpgWe’re actually surprised it didn’t happen sooner.


Herve Leger rip-offs, that is.

H&M should have launched bandage dresses over a year ago, once Lindsay, Posh and every other red carpet regular decided it was time to revive the BCBG owned brand. But instead, we walked past an Express window yesterday packed with short, neon, skintight dresses that are more than just an homage to the designer who now goes by the Karl Lagerfeld sanctioned name, Leroux.

The only piece available online is black, which is probably the only color that works for a band-aid tight dress on a normal body. It’s similar to Leger’s most basic designs, including the one on the left worn by Jemima Khan last year.

So stop by Express if you need to attend a red carpet event, want to blend in, and won’t spend $1500 on a dress that you can only wear post lemonade diet.

I love bandage dresses i think they are timeless..especially in black or any neutral color...i cant say to much for the rainbow dress that LinLo wore but done right it can be very sexy maybe with a side chignon to give it that classic not tragic touch

I saw this dress at the mall last week and thought the same thing. Although, I must say, it seemed like a realllly good-quality, heavy knit. I might have bought it if I didn't already have one black Leger ripoff at home.

Banana Republic also has a very cute version. A little short perhaps, but oddly wearable and supportive, even poor dears with big busts, like myself *sniff, sniff, whine, whine*....

Otherwise, seriously, thanks for the scoop. The Express version is seriously cute and I can't wait to try it on.
