BCBG is an acronym for bon chic, bon genre—or good style, good attitude. Designed by Max Azria under the close supervision of wife Lubova, the urban-urchin label’s got legions of celebrity clients, 475 retail boutiques worldwide, and a slew of offshoots, including the more casual BCBGeneration, the more upscale Max Azria Collection, and BCBGirls footwear, with acquisitions ranging from mass-market MAXRave to legendary Hervé Léger. Dresses and mix-and-match separates are the brand’s bread and butter: youthful but not cutesy, easy-to-wear, and with a bit of an edge.
“BCBG's collection lifts inspiration from Coco Chanel's impromptu day look. After spending the night with a boyfriend, she absconded with her lover's cardigan, slung a belt around it and threaded a ribbon through the buttonholes. Voilà!”—Cintra Wilson The New York Times
“The BCBG Max Azria girl is Sienna Miller or Kate Moss. Max Azria is more Cate Blanchett.”—Lubov Azria Style.com
