Herve Leger’s $2,800 Frayed Denim and Strips of Fabric Dress

This frayed denim dress is from Herve Leger, so it holds all the promises of uninterrupted lines, bulge-less curves, and insta-sexiness.

But legendary attributes of Herve Leger dresses aside, do you think you would be attracted to this dress, let alone pay $2,800 for it at Shopbop?

Even with the French luxury label, it’s hard to justify that steep price, especially when there are other more gorgeous dresses from the same designer to save up for and purchase. It’s also difficult to find this dress pretty, even when you view it up close.

Herve Leger dresses are usually better appreciated in close-up, but all I see here are strips of mismatched fabric interspersed with, of all things, frayed denim.

But in fairness to this dress, it’s wasn’t the worst disaster as there were other more confusing denim designs sent down the French fashion house’s Spring 2010 RTW runway.

This was the collection where the Herve Leger by Max Azria brand was trying to be country chic. Does it work for you or not?
