Hervé Léger teams with Avon to create new fragrances

Always wanted that Hervé Léger dress, but just couldn't get yourself to fork out that much cash?

Well now, Hervé Léger fans can get a piece of the brand through our favourite door-to-door marketing brand, Avon.

Hervé, which is owned by the BCBG Max Azria Group, will be launching two new perfumes this fall: Hervé Léger Femme and Hervé Léger Homme. Though the brand is fairly upscale, it has recently been trying to reach to a more accessible audience (see: Miley Cyrus and Max Azria's Wal-Mart collection).

Avon has tried to make itself more fashion-conscious, especially with its mark. collection, who has signed Twilight's Ashley Grenne as former ambassador Lauren Conrad's replacement. The brand also produces fragrances for Christian Lacroix, Emanuel Ungaro and Cynthia Rowley, and will also be launching Fergie's new fragrance, Outspoken.

So enjoy the luxury of the brand, for a fraction of a price. Besides, what is a woman (or man) without her perfume?

Betsey Johnson wants to retire

Designer Betsey Johnson has expressed that she wants to retire after her September show.

“I should be retired," said the designer at the launch party for By Invitation Only. "I’m basically screwing up because I’m not retired."

Johnson told The Cut blog that she wants to travel, and that she and her partner, Chantal Bacon, have been working on a succession plan for a year.

"My partner and I, we both want to know what would it be like to get up in the morning and go, ‘What do I do today?’” Johnson said.

So who will be taking over the brand?

Eric Sartori, who has previously designed for Vera Wang, Hervé Léger, and Azzedine Alaïa.

“He is the one,” she says. “He’s much better than I am. He just has to Betsey-fy himself."

But Johnson doesn't plan on giving up on the brand completely.

"I’ll be a megaconsultant. I’ll go in. I want to be like Ralph [Lauren]. Like, I always imagined the perfect life is like Ralph, where he goes in, and his wonderful expert crews show him work, and he goes, 'Love it, love it, love it, um, we’ll just put that aside for the moment, love it, love it, hmmm.' You know what I mean?" she said. "And be that — be the inspiration, the light at the end of the tunnel, the fairy godmother that comes down."

Miley Cyrus and Max Azria sign a deal with Wal-Mart

This is probably one of the most bizarre collaborations I have heard of.

Hannah Montana star, Miley Cyrus, is teaming up with Max Azria, chairman, designer and chief executive officer of the BCBG Max Azria Group (BCBG, Hervé Léger), to create a clothing line for Wal-Mart.

The line, which is aimed towards younger teens, is called Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, and will include tops, pants, graphic tees and shoes, all for under $20.

This isn't Wal-Mart's first celebrity collaboration, with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's tween fashion line, Hilary Duff's Stuff by Hilary Duff, and most recently, a line of cami dresses by Taylor Swift called L.E.I. by Taylor Swift.

Cyrus has been spotted wearing Hervé Léger by Max Azria in April to the U.K. premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie, and for the 2009 Grammy Awards, but I can't seem to fathom why such a big-name designer would collaborate with a popstar who isn't so fashion-conscious.

I guess everyone wants a piece of Miley!

The collection will hit Wal-Mart stores and walmart.com in early August.

In the meantime, check out one of the looks below!

Finally! A fashion DO for Miley Cyrus!

The 16-year-old Hannah Montana star wore an Hervé Léger dress to the UK premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie at the Odeon, Leicester Square yesterday.

P.S. Miley and fellow Disney star/once enemy, Demi Lovato have been sharing their love for each other on Twitter (Miley posted the photo below, tweeting, "I truly love @ddlovato!!!! Thank u for being such a great friend :))) ps we totally rocked matching dresses"). Selena Gomez and Mandy Jiroux must be jealous!

Hervé Léger

Hervé Léger's signature bandage dress has been popular with many celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, and Mariah Carey, to name a few. This sexy dress hugs your curves perfectly, and will defnitely make heads turn. But since I will never be able to afford an authentic Hervé Léger, I've found the next best thing. Behold, bebe's Colorblock X-Front Dress, a recognizable knock-off of the original. At a cool $98, it'll still break the bank, but at least I'll be saving enough money for a gym membership, which I'll be needing in order to wear it!
