Greekans
Hello Again. It sure has been awhile my lovelies. Ok. I admit it. I'm so good at blogging, but not the commitment. That's why this should be a job. :]
Alright Children. Today we are learning about Greek Fashion and what it has inspired. Of course the beautiful draping and one shouldered dress is the first thing that comes to mind. So here is some eye candy my darlings.
I know there are way more awesome pictures and inspires out there. But these are my favorite. And by far, this Greek trend is also my favorite. :] I design a lot of clothes that look like this.
Ohh LaLa

Roman: The Fashion Inspired
We all know Rome for it's beautiful scenery and romance. However, we are not here for a history lesson or a travel agent pitch. We are here to learn of how Roman Fashion has been affecting designers and fashionistas alike.
The best focus for this post is (A) The Drape and (B) Those oh so awesome gladiator shoes. Romans did not have zippers, mind you. They, like any other AD/BC generation, used alot of the human body and its relationship to fabric so as to create wonderfully pleated, curved, and shaped clothing. Without zippers, how did one keep their clothing up you say? They used fashionable clasps and brooches. Lets check it out.

Morocco!!
If this title reminds you of bazaars and camels, you're on the right path. If it's bells and hard hats, I don't know where you came from.
Morroco, like any other country, is full of culture. A very colorful one compared to England, France and similar places. It's focus is more religious, resulting in more modest looking fads and designs. Here are a few examples and inspirations.
Everything is like a slap of color in the face huh?
My favorite are those belted gowns. Cute enough to get married in hm?

Victorian Era Flashback and Inspires
Victorian Era includes the years of 1837-1901. Queen Vicky ruled during this period and her reign left a lasting impression in almost all things that pertained to life. Including furniture feet.
Fashion: Silhouettes are one of my favorite part of fashion! Although they're hard to spell, but easy to spot! Women at the time seemed to have giant behinds. They believed it made them more "S" shaped. Sounds familiar? Now people want to look like an hourglass! Will it ever stop?
Here are some elaborate dresses and materials to muse upon and be inspired about. everything was so frilly! I like a man in suits though.
In this Korean creation of clothing, the lace was used as light trimming mixed with some delicate fabrics and subtle colors. Some masculine pieces were also used to create a type of unexpected balance too.

The Maasai Fashion Inspiration
Fashion: Masaai clothing is quite historic. Drapes and ties are the main part of their apparel. Many red carpet dresses take part in the legacy of the single shouldered ensembles.
Background: The Masaai people are a semi-nomadic group that live in the area of Kenya and Tanzania. Many continue to practice their culture in todays world; surviving and even thriving in their East African climates. Physically, they are beautifully lanky and ebony skinned.
