Greek: Then and Now

Not only do designers seek inspiration from other time periods but other cultures as well. Greek culture  influenced politics, philosophy, theatre, architecture, science and the list goes on and on, centuries ago. It is considered one of the most influential forces ever. You still see Greek influences in architecture, government, and even in fashion today. From dresses, gold accessories, to gladiator sandals. Greek culture is still alive and thriving.

Designers still seek inspiration from greek culture by including the long - flowy material and style of dress with the synched in waist. Creating a beautiful, yet simple silhouette. 
We are just like the Romans. We look to the Greeks for inspiration in forming our own culture. Taking their ideas and making them our own.
