Herve Leger founded his fashion house in France in 1985, though the designer currently operates under the name Herve L. Leroux. Leger pioneered the now famous bandage dresses, sometimes referred to as “body-con”, an abbreviation of “body conscious”. The dresses use bandage-like strips to shape and mould the wearer’s figure. Herve Leger retails in several countries across the globe, with boutiques in Paris, New York, Dubai and Singapore amongst others. The Herve Leger brand has also branched out into fragrances; their perfume collection currently includes the signature Herve Leger scent, as well as Rose Leger and Herve Leger Celebration.
