One of my grandmother's (God rest her soul) favorite sayings was: "Enough is enough and too much is good for nothing!" I think that sums up my feelings about this season's Herve Leger show. Yes, we understand his bandage dresses are categorized as "bondage chic," but this show took bondage to an entirely different level. I thought the harnesses looked like misplaced garter belts, and totally took away from dresses -- which could probably stand on their own quite well. The harnesses were distracting, and I feel like to completely appreciate the collection, I need to see the pieces "unstyled." (Yes, sometimes even stylists believe you can go too far with "styling.") That being said, I need to make a trip to the boutique in Miami once the fall collections launch to see what I really think about what I just saw.
