Tate McRae wore a Hervé Léger suit last week and took the stage at Madison Square Garden last week. And then there is another one. And then there is another one. Shouting fans are between 15 and 18 on average – imagine what their screams sound like. They all wore similar looks: swag shorts, cut and thigh-high boots, all the same as pop star’s Legie outfits, who introduced the shoes on the field after a concert with an oversized T-shirt on the artist’s dining table.
Hervé Léger seemed to have a moment. Creative Director Michelle Ochs reported in the preview that the label’s archive saw a lot of demands, which in turn inspired others to wear new pieces she designed: McRae, Vanessa Kirby and Nicole Scherzinger. It’s a wonderful time and Legge will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year.
Léger’s momentum Vintage Léger first discovered the collection of OCHS online and in the current IRL. This season, she brought back the 1994 mesh workwear and insert collection, where she saw several exquisite and very sexy mini dresses.
“I want to take advantage of this moment,” Oaks said of the ongoing anniversary year. Two years ago, Ochs took over Léger, putting the label she destroyed at the time (Et Ochs) aside and focusing on the change. She feels her work is paying off now. “After two years, I worked so hard to build the motivation we finally got and I felt we had enough collectibles and set a new tone for the brand.” Transparent
OCHS has always been very clever to reinvention. She has cleaned up Legge’s contemporary language to make it clearly recognizable and bet on its signature (i.e., worship of the body and bandage structure) without having to put all the eggs in a basket. She is also a good soldier, respecting the built-in client’s obsession with bandages and convincingly convinced. (For spring 2026, this is the opening dress for this lookbook, whose entire twisted bar is a trendy improvisation of the initial idea.) However, Ochs’ time is Ochs’ time. She has a grasp on one thing, her contagiousness with McCree, dance pop music sharing: In Ochs’ own words, “People want to have fun. And,” she adds, “we have clothes for you.”
