Karl Lagerfeld is known for getting inspiration from anywhere and everywhere, and this time he focused on the rich Ancient Greek culture. As he stated, “ The criteria of beauty in ancient, then classical, Greece still hold true. There have never been more beautiful representations of women. Or more beautiful columns. The entire Renaissance, in fact, was based on antiquity. It is really about the youth of the world in all its power and unpredictability.“ The audience could witness his extreme passion for these Greece-inspired looks, specially with the red and black figure-painted pottery so essential to the Greek culture. Although many of his dresses had a relaxed fit, he created illustrations that simply drove people off their feet. On the other hand, Lagerfeld also had diagonally draped gowns accessorized with golden headbands looking very majestic. And to bring the drama a notch higher, he paired these with column-heeled gladiator sandals.
