New York Fashion Week AW 2012: Herve Leger by Max Azria

For today I chose a mix of rough leather and feminine dresses from the Herve Leger by Max Azria collection. I really liked this idea, as sometimes a dress can indeed be too feminine and with these leather harnesses and knee-length boots, the models look both tough and sexy. The color palette is mostly black, white and brown with the occasional dash of a muted red dress or of gorgeous warm brown shades on a fur vest. I really enjoyed watching this show, also because Ginta Lapina is modelling for this brand and you know how big of a fan I am! Her fringed dress with a brown harness is very cute.

Among my favorite pieces are the outfit in the first photo, the white dress with the black harness, the beige and gold dresses paired with brown harnesses, the sand-colored dress paired with black and brown harnesses on the neckline and waist and last but not least the two gowns towards the end of the show. 

Here is my selection of the most interesting looks from the runway:

What's your opinion on this collection? Would you wear such mixtures of leather and chiffon?
