Coral Gables, FL – March 15, 2013 – If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind those sexy, body-hugging bandage dresses that have become a staple in every Miami girl’s closet, take a look below. The Chief Creative Officer of BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP is Lubov Azria, and she was in town last week presenting the Spring 2013 Hervé Léger by Max Azria Collection. Over 60 fashionistas- including Real Housewives of Miami star Alexia Echevarria– gathered at the Neiman Marcus at Merrick Park for an afternoon of models strutting their stuff on the catwalk, bites, and bubbly. The Spring 2013 Collection was inspired by the patchwork and handcrafted embroidery from the quilt-making women of Gee’s Bend, Alabama. It’s very much a symbol of feminine strength with all the bold colors and cuts in the dresses and swimwear.
