Stricken by Roman Dresses

We are going through a Byzantine phase. The Columbia Pictures logo has always fascinated us at the opening of movies. The Romanesque dress conveyed both grace and strength, and embodies the modern woman. Yet the dress has always meant to be functional, and was deemed an easy dress to wear and make. Such contradiction and amazing qualities of the Roman dress fascinates designers to no end as season after season, we see reincarnations of it in breath-takingly ethereal designs from Bottega, Marchesca, Vera, Valentino or Lanvin. Seeing is believing.

  1. Hi there,

    Can you tell me who is the designer of the second dress you've posted? You captioned it to be courtesy of Femino, but I can't seem to find that designer online. I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction?

    Thanks!
