Aphrodite. Athena. Hera. Lets face it, the Greek goddesses conjure up images of elegance, power, and earth-shattering beauty. There’s a reason why these ladies have had a lasting impression on our cultural consciousness (as well as our Classics departments). The goddess dress is nothing new. After all, elegant Greek inspired dresses have been seen on the catwalks for the last few seasons, as well as the continuing popularity of the gladiator sandal for summer.
There are some evolutions though. This season fabrics are sheer, revealing glimpses of the sexy goddess body, and the length is generally long and floaty with trains seen at Christian Dior and Marchesa. John Galliano’s avant-garde reinterpretation is striking in its elegant use of ornamentation, something seen with Malandrino as well. Elegant drapery and nipped in waists truly give the impression of cloud-skimming ability, whilst keeping the look fresh and modern. I particularly love the use of colour in the dresses I’ve chosen; the use of monotone neutral pastels as well as bold whites and surprising orange at Halston.
I love how Mischa Barton pulls the trend off in a Matthew Williamson creation. This is so effective due to its grace as well as fun feel – with its free flowing maxi length and flower pattern it has an almost hippy like feel, complete with arm bracelets worn high up like cuffs. Indeed, to pull this trend off simple accessories are key; sparse jewellery and flat shoes with a maxi length, or classic heels with a mini-dress.
