Although BCBG Max Azria president Ben Malka has denied rumors that he’s taking over Halston Heritage, other members of the Max Azria group are jumping ship. The company confirmed yesterday that Marie Mazelis, creative director of the Hervé Léger and Max Azria lines, was departing after ten years at the fashion house. She wouldn’t say where she’s going next, however, telling WWD, “I haven’t made a final decision yet.”
