More than two decades after its inception, and after a lengthy sabbatical from the fashion circuit, MOJEH meets the creative director successfully breathing new life and modernity into Hervé Léger’s iconic knitted dresses.
“Confidence is a woman’s best accessory,” says Christian Juul Nielsen. The Danish creative director has been at the helm of Hervé Léger for little over two years now and has already infused the house with a fresh new set of sartorial codes.
Having previously worked alongside Galliano, Raf Simons and Nina Ricca, Christian arrived at Hervé Léger with experience in couture, ready to wear, maximalism, minimalism and femininity - as well as an inherent ability to design clothes that women want to wear.
Since his appointment, the brand has gone through a distinct transformation. There is a clean, contemporary feel to Christian’s new and arguably improved version of Hervé Léger. We caught up with the Danish designer to find out what, and who, is inspiring the brand’s new look...
Yes, for sure. I very much think about real women when I design. AKNVAS being very much a creative thinking city girl who is focusing on her career life, and the Hervé Léger girl is super feminine and not afraid to express it.
