I have selected look number 33 from the Dolce & Gabbana spring 2014 ready to wear collection.
I have chosen this image because it reminds me of the Greek era. This image shows the era quite clearly because of the coins of Greek goddesses and the colours seem neutral because there weren't many colours they could die their clothing with. Also gold is inspired by the Greek era, gold is used a lot in here to boost the Greek theme. It has been cut on the abious to give that draping effect. the collar looks like some thing from the byzantine but the byzantine is after the Greek era so there quite similar to the way they dress. she looks quite plain just like the clothing where in 800BC- 600 AD. Plain dull but draped all over and her sleeves are draped also the bottom half of her dress. The pattern on the dress is just like the embellished and patterned boarder on a royal Greek dress.
