Overview
BCBG Max Azria Group designed and sold high-end, European-inspired contemporary women's fashion at accessible price points. It built a portfolio of collections, including Hervé Léger after acquiring the brand in 1998, offering statement and chic pieces through retail and online channels. The brand merged designer pedigree with approachable pricing to stand apart from fast fashion and luxury labels. Under new ownership, the goal is to relaunch and recapture the bon chic, bon genre ethos for a new generation.
