NYFW Hervé Léger

Scene: Fall/Winter 2022, Hervé Léger’s Creative Director, Christian Juul-Nielsen’s collection showcased its iconic bodycon silhouette in a new way this season using knitwear in ways it had never been done before. Knitted bralettes were paired with matching skirts and long knitted gloves, while knitted dresses were shredded to give the illusion of fringing. A bold palette of pinks, purples, mint green, and yellow offers a bright Fall/Winter.
Christian was inspired by the graphic works of James Turrell, 1960s Space Age fashion—think André Courrèges, and the high contrast
style of photographer Irving Penn.
Delicate airy mohair. Bright colors and geometric cutouts channelled the swinging sixties. Textured, heavy-gauge nylon yarn was knit into molded, bullet bra silhouettes reminiscent of the 1950s.
