HERVÈ LÈGER BY MAX AZRIA RESORT 2011

The Hervé Léger comeback story of recent years has had surprising legs, thanks to Lubov and Max Azria's seemingly limitless ability to riff on the classic bandage dress. New for Resort? Prints, for one, in the form of graphic, tribal-inspired jacquard patterns on a magenta and tangerine swingy miniskirt (a flattering option for those of us who aren't size-zero supermodels) and a black and white frock with a plunging neckline. Fringe showed up, too, cascading down the sides of a pale gray halter-style number.

The designers also experimented with thinner-gauge bandages this season, turning out a sexy cream power suit with zip-up jacket and fitted pencil skirt. We wouldn't necessarily advise wearing it to the office—particularly if you work in, say, banking—but the brand's sizable alpha-female fan base will surely find a suitable occasion.
