A top executive for legendary fashion designer Herve Leger sparked angry outbursts from women who will probably never own Leger’s iconic bandage dress.
Patrick Couderc, the UK managing director for Herve Leger, told UK’s gossip tabloid the Daily Mail that most women shouldn’t bother wearing the cloyingly clingy bandage dress that Leger is famous for.
Couderc said women with “very prominent hips and a very flat chest” and gay women should stay away from the bandage dress.
Couderc was probably prompted to clarify who qualifies to wear the bandage dress after seeing 65-year-old transvestite Bruce Jenner wearing the dress during Jenner’s recent gay pride excursion to NYC (above).
“If you’re a committed lesbian and you are wearing trousers all your life, you won’t want to buy a Leger dress,” Couderc said. “Lesbians would want to be rather butch and leisurely.”
Some celebrities and notables were offended by Couderc’s fashion directive.
“Fuck fashion and ‘designers’ that body shame @HerveLeger,” tweeted comedian Margaret Cho, who is herself a lesbian. She added the hashtags “#wecanwearwhateverthefuckwewant #boycottherveleger”, and called for a boycott of Herve Leger.
And London-based author Kathy Lette, also a lesbian, tweeted, “Herve Leger boss will need his OWN bandages after saying that lesbians & voluptuous women r banned from wearing brand’s iconic bandage dress.”
There’s no word from Bruce Jenner’s camp yet.
How you gonna boycott something that you can’t afford???? Margaret cho?
Right. Selective and faux outrage. Typical social media behavior
you cant fit in it margaret cho. Plus He made it so he can say what the hell he wants about it
This is the main reason why I dont get caught up in labels. They not here for the common folk.
I could care less about someone not wanted me to wear their overpriced clothes and I’m not even what people consider “fat” or “gay.” I can wear one of the dresses in one of my closets and stand next to someone wearing a bandange dress and feel gorgeous. I make my clothes, my clothes dont make me. Society gives these fashion designers TOO MUCH POWER.
But he forgot about men wearing them.
Good Morning Roses, Thorn, Crabgrass and the worst garden weeds.
Hello! I grew up living in the thrift store and my mama use to make some of my clothes. Going to the fabric store and selecting fabrics for a new outfit was fun. Its not about how much something cost, its about the person IN the clothes.
Hellerrr!! And folks breaking their necks and the back to wear it.
WHALE bandage dresses are so 2010 anyway so…..
other dress I don’t want to wear
Morning Hunti – That the truth, the little jumper dress were my fave.
Spins in a circle Morning butter. Chest bump….
Morning JustLookinLikeAGazillionBucks
My mom made me jumper dresses all the time, because they were so easy. Folks used to ask me where I got them from. I used to say “da crib” Designed by my mama. By the time I got to high school I was making my own homecoming dresses. Fuk a mall. Lol
Mauh, Girl remember BBW Miami and Royce Reed wore that bandage dress and they talked about her SOOOOOOOO BAD and she had the bodti for it.
NO ONE should still be wearing bandage dresses. NO ONE!!
Chile how you boycotting this man’s fashion all because you don’t agree with his (the designer’s) preference? He designed the dresses for a certain shape … Smh
LMBO. I hate that you reminded me of that. Her fashion was always so off. She just should’ve stuck with jeans and a t-shirt and sundresses, because her style was tragic.
I had a knock off one. I bought it from Sears. Lol. Couldn’t tell me nothing. I wore it to a Christmas Party. Some lady walked up to me and said I have one of those too. I paid like $500 blah blah blah on sale at some high end store. I just looked at her and said “bless your heart” and walked away. She was trying to test me. But I aint into competing with bishes.
Straight out of comments!
Well Ellen’s wife Portia is a lesbian and she can wear the dress .So it has nothing to do with sexuality but with body type.
WHATTTTT…..Ninja…what does being a lessbeen have anything to do with those awful dresses….and Cait looks better then some of these so call natural women. HOE seat down.
Regardless how you get mad because he makes clothes to fit a certain shape…. Like Wtf? This ain’t a department store … He the designer ! FOH2015 If you can’t fit it move on… If you try to fit it and u look a mess it’s on you… Bye! ?
OK? unless you are a IG model…Its like wearing Ed hardy…RIP
I find your avi creepy but it could be worse….GM
Right! It’s something about going to pick out the fabric, measuring it, doing all the tailoring and then seeing it turn into a fabulous shirt, pair of pants, skirt or dress. Nothing like it. You feel like a million bucks when people ask “where did you buy that” or “can you make me one.” Nothing I ever wore out of a store made me feel like that. I get that designers have the right to speak their minds about their creations, just like everyone else but they go overboard with the insults sometimes and don’t realize if society stops supporting them, they have nothing but a pile of undesirable fabric.
Who cares, people look hideous from clothes from walmart…he just want to be in the news. He need some shine from the old vintage dresses. Bruce got that dress from the Swapmeet. or some of old Kims clothes
Its the same shyt when Cristal said he didn’t want ninjas dancing all in their videos with his champagne. Ninjas was in SHOCK. That’s what you get for hyping up some white man’s brand and don’t know the history behind it. Stop spending your money with folks who wouldn’t piss on you, if you was on fire. These brands designers are here for the privileged only.
When I pass by the Herve Leger store in Lenox, I say a little prayer for all the lost souls in the dressing room. My prayer is for them to be DELIVERT! Cast those hideous strips of fabric away and graduate to Nordstrom Rack. Tell the designer of Satan to get thee behind in the line of Macy’s. There’s power in the name of Jesus to break every stitch, thread, and seam.
Ooooooooh, Glooooooraaaaaaaay! afjdlkijaeh djfhikfnr skdfjlsdk soiejn vdkfjgs.ofiapsd
Girl…the only thing that cost are my shoes..( I don’t want effed up feet)) and My purse ( I shop vintage online for hella cheap)…Miss me with Chanel, Prada, blah blah….
I feel like ugly people and insecure people are the ones who get caught up in labels. A bad bish can rock a potato sack and make that shyt look good. Only ugly hoes need labels.
LMBO…I’m change just for you. later on in the day. KISS
Please be more specific.. Are you saying only ugly “hoes” wear labels?
I will admit. I am a bag lady. I love a good purse. But I do my research. I comparison shop, look for sales coupons etc before I purchase one. Or take my ass to the outlet mall. I’m never paying full price for nothing.
Yesssssssssssss. I used to love that feeling.
Pick up your prayer cloth and go sit in the corner! So wrong for that whole last section! LOL!!!!!! ???
“A top executive for legendary fashion designer Herve Leger sparked angry outbursts from women who will probably never own Leger’s iconic bandage dress.”
ION curr I wont OWN Nor want one; those dresses are so played out.
the dress Bruce is wearing up top is Hideous in it self!
*dead*
Look at those knees.
Lawd!!
Good Morning Sunshine
Hey Hunti
I’m being funny. I just mean if you HAVE to have designer this or that to make yourself feel good or look good…..you might be ugly or insecure or both. A designer dress or shoes or whatever should not determine a person’s worth.
But WHY?!?!
Actually the more I look at ol dude in the pink plaid, he doesn’t look that bad in it. hehe
Bruce is hideous
Morning all
Gotcha!
If the dress were in style, you could work the HELLL OUT IT. FA SHOW
Not before I run this victory lap. *grabs flag*
Morning bewski!
Morning Honey…Well he does look better than Bruce, now that you mention it.
All of this
Morning
NEW POST about Kenya Moore!
Morning JL2
You know I’d more respect if he would have said I designed it for Skinny women with no shape.
Horrid!
lmao! let the truth be spoken bahhhhhh!!!
Thank you…it reminds of those old dolls my granny had….smh…
agreed, some are WHHHHHHAAAYY over priced. Wwas gonna buy this hi-low skirt. I looked everywehere for it… New, used old. didn’t have time to make it and had to pay more than was necessary….BUT I was the only one wearing it and I’ve worn it 3 times and will wear it again this year. YEAP…KONA dont judge me with my ugly self. GIGGLES
Did ya’ll talk about how bad Bruce/Cait looks in that dress? That’s hideous.
We got a runner at our church, one Sunday I wanted to run with him. DON”T JUDGE
My husband said, do it and you running home.
Cosign why are people mad? Everything made isn’t required to be made for you. Get over yourself.
bruce does look a hot-azz-3-month-pregnant-mess though….
Get into it!!!! Can the lanky slenderman creepypasta lookin azz eem walk?!??
I can’t afford it, so I won’t worry myself about a piece of cloth..
Like the song says, “I’m gonna run while the blood is running warm in my veins.”
I’ve only known one person to run at our church and I thought the Mother of the Church’s eyes were going to pop out of her head, because she stretched them so. The thing that really got me, is that she was on her usher post, and sat back down like nothing happened. I have some things I need to repent for
what’s a committed lesbian…vs a part time time weekend lesbian. Weekend scissor Les
….A few things. First good morning. Second, While I do agree that some brands are over prices, I don’t think all of them are only for the privileged. And I’m a bit confused, because I know I just read you love bags. (As do I) and we both know the white man you can’t stand are behind the bags as well. It’s the same thing. And really, if your going to have my product and acting a straight fool with it, I might not want you with it either. IJS.
I don’t think only ugly people need them. No one needs a label, but people, for whatever reason, do like them. Lot’s of thrift stores have nice labels as well. I do go into thrift stores and have come out with a lot of nice stuff.
I agree.
They made some cute dresses out of hallmark cards on racist, selective azz project runway last episode. I say that to say anything is more innovative than a late azz bandage dress. Please…who he finna try.
People want a reason to act a fool. The dress ain’t even cute enough to be boycotting??
“And London-based author Kathy Lette, also a lesbian, tweeted, “Herve Leger boss will need his OWN bandages after saying that lesbians & voluptuous women r banned from wearing brand’s iconic bandage dress.””
Once again, a gay person proves just how violent some of us really are.
One day when the spirit take over and I ain’t thinking I’m going to run for the Lord in the church. KONA
I thought Herve Leger was played out, cause they aren’t flying off the racks at my job.
Make sure you have your running shoes in your bag, because your mister said you can’t sit with them. LMBO
Le struggle… that guy is tryin to treat him like a lady. They made sure that’s the picture they got.
Hell all the IG boutique owners sell these do rag material dresses anyways. They come with a waist trainer, some herbal tea, and a teeth whitening kit.
People kill me … Just because yo own opinion isn’t popular doesn’t mean that they aren’t allow to say how they feel…. Let people be people
Ok so I did read up top…I can’t see why people are mad. Everything is not made for everyone, and really, Bruce looks a mess in the dress. And it’s clearly not for everyone’s shape.
Truth
And it’s as foolish as it comes. NOW all of a sudden he needs help walking down the steps. He got the same bat and balls he had before he put on a dress, what’s the difference NOW, some weave? smh
LOL @ Margaret Cho tambout boycott the dress………..but the dress is so 2001 anyways. So, er uhm….
LMMFBAO!! They have a point.
Not sure why people would be offended. BRUCE Jennifer shouldn’t be trying to wear any form fitting dresses. He’s built like the MAN he is. He looks stupid.
Them spindly legs and that [jackie christy voice] Fupa/Frupa….I caint.
Have you seen Atlanta Plastic or it’s previews? The trans folks on there look better and they have less money.
I have not!!! But I sure will be looking out for it now!!!
Is social media part of a parallel universe? Ain’t no way folks walking around this sensitive in the real world.
The difference is now Cait could possibly trip in those demure kitten mules and spill the bat and balls onto the field. Chile…Cait is just dainty and fra geel lee.
Yessss. I’m sitting here on fb watching people argue over bape stuff ? Isn’t bape and a bathing ape the same chit? Who tf would be proud of wearing clothes that say a bathing ape? I’ll wait.
Where’s @sandra rose?
Lmao. Allegedly laughing at/talking bout folks shouting is blasphemy, but I’m sorry. Some folks do entirely too much.
Isn’t this an Asian designer? People see it and thinks it says RAPE a lot of the time.
I can’t unsee his bathing suit pic ?
I have seen plus size women wear bandage dresses well. They probably were knock offs but when they wore their shapewear it looked nice.
Is fra-geel-lee the same as fukn ugly? No? Ok.
Seriously though, Caitlyn looks horrible in that dress. The dress itself isn’t all that either.
Though a bad choice of words, I agree and I’m plus size. Don’t know what it’s like to be a gay man but those types of dresses are not slimming beyond a certain body type.
If anyone has TV One, there was a larger chick wearing one in the Born Again Virgin ads. Got on my nerves but I was glad for the diversity. Guess not everybody felt the same cuz she’s no longer on the show.?
This goes to show you how biased these fashion gods are. They have a deep seated hatred for fat people, black people, poor people, and now gay people. The last one is a head scratcher. They have the token select few in their midst to pull in certain demographics but they want everybody in a size 2 to make their fashions more homogeneous and more prosperous. That’s how they role.
Well Bruce doesn’t look cute in any of the female clothes he’s been wearing. I’m referring to Bruce since his picture is featured.
I’m not talking about them, I’m saying that I want to join in and want the spirit to catch me. I got reason to run chile, I’m a two successful survivor https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/22f1a211a802717acbca7bfd7aa319a2b836372a526da4688fef6689aafc8897.gif
That dress looks HORRIBLE on BAD SHAPES!!!!!!
I kind of agree. Why wouldn’t a person want to wear something that flatters them? Different things work for different body types.
THIS ARTICLE SOUNDS FAKE. THE DAILY MIRROR HAS BEEN CALLED OUT AND SUED FOR FAKE ISH IN THE PAST. SERIOUS SIDE EYE. THE DIRECTOR WOULD HAVE TO BE CRAZY, HIGH OR DRUNK TO MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT………JENNY JONES!!!
Ahh, the foolery. Lol.
I remember when Wayne was on that magazine and everyone was going crazy over “RAPE” they are still talking about that, that was years ago!
Bruce Jenner is sickening. And he’s a fraud.
Amen.
I would love that….with my shape (thick thighs and hips) I’d love to have clothes made for my body….You’re right who cares about the price tag, unless they are the ones buying it….
Lets be honest….if your body is BMW (Body Made Wrong) then HELL NO. Just because something looks good on a mannequin or hanger doesn’t mean it will look good on you. Thats what he should of said. Damn, THINK before you speak otherwise you will sound like a dumbass. I’m just saying
….if you want to control who/what/how your product is used then DON’T MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC…He’s an idiot….Just design and be quiet.
*Look at him…he’s not the greatest male specimen in the world…so why he thinks he gets to judge women’s “prominent hips and flat chests” is beyond me.
I have no plans of putting my coins in their kind pockets.
I had no plans of purchasing anyway and certainly not giving my coins to his kind.
You don’t know what she can afford so go back to QVC and the NeNe Leakes fat gals collection along with your ubiquitous bag of potato chips and hot sauce.
That’s Miss Thang Repubican if you please LOL
Oh please! Stop being so sensitive. Boycotting him for something like that is crazy!!
is this body guard really supporting the small of a big-ass sprinter’s back?
How his moma gone feel when she see this? Not all money is worth it dang!
Oook yea so his opinion matters why??…if sum1 can afford the dress or not…or if the article is real or jus a stunt…isn’t the issue in my opinion… Wut I’m trippin off is the fact that he an so many other designers of shoes clothes etc etc have the nerve and the attitude to feel that u have to live up to a certain wutever to support them…and wuts even sadder is that for every1 person who feels he is a jerk 4his comments… There’s ten sayin….well said…
Whale, this dog-cat *snickers* looks dumb in the dress. #aintmyfault

Uptop, Bruce’s belly roll is more shapely than his “alleged” booty.
Lookin like an aging munchkin. He’d betta stop
That’s why she wants to boycott it, she can’t afford it, or fit them. Lol
you are a bald face lie with the comment Bruce looks better than a lot of natural women. He wasted money on his :Tales From the Crypt Surgery”. That surgeon is laughing all the way to the bank on that mess. Bruce holiday Halloween is right around the corner.
Everything you buy has a label.
I almost fell out when I saw the sweater that grows as you grow. You be looking like the abonomobile snowman by the time that fabric stops growing.
You clearly ain’t seen Lindsey Logan or have these model in a bikini
Exactly.
LOL. Ok I can afford the 130 dress not the 1350..She need to go to her corner and eat a cookie
