Trend Watch: Grecian Goddess

From left to right: Reem Acra, Etro, Sophia Kokosalaki 

Etro, Gucci, Valentino...Designers everywhere were seduced by the grandeur and femininity of the Grecian Goddess, this season....And fashion editor's everywhere breathed a sigh of relief...Finally, a look that exudes style and comfort. So if you're shying away from shoulder-pads and turning pale at the though of acid brights, this is the look for you. 
On the catwalk gowns were worn loose but - if like me - you weren't blessed with model proportions, cinch in swathes of fabric with a statement belt. Draw inspiration from Julie Christie, Saffron Burrows and Diane Kruger in Troy (2004).


Oasis and Warehouse have the best selection of Grecian-inspired gowns. You're guaranteed to make a style statement in this royal blue number, or combine two trends in one with the red asymmetric design. If you're strapped for cash and it's longevity you're looking for, the classic style of Next's gold jersey drape dress will surpass the seasons.
