An Ancient Sense of Style
Model: Sophia Kokosalaki

Balmain A new trend has been reported on the runways for the upcoming seasons of Spring/Summer 2009. The new trend has notes from Ancient Egyptian style, as its channeling Nefertiti and King Tut of Egypt. The Nefertiti hair do is so avant-garde, the breast metal chain dress by Benjamin Cho reminds me of Egyptian Warriors, and the Balmain design is very King Tut-esq.
I for one, am a major fan of the major heavy detail construction of the garments. It creates an edgy and empowering aura about the design. The trend is really interesting because it takes us on a trip discovering new ideas for personal style, perhaps an exodus for some.
What do you think of the Ancient Egyptian trend?

I actually really like lines inspired by other cultures. They make for really interesting runway shows. But whether they could hold up off the runway is a little questionable...
Good Fashion Forecasting! In brief the photos in this show translates to me as: Hem lines will be shorter in the upcoming seasons, and that heavy accessories possibly in metallic’s and, jewels will be in.. I will have to disagree that the hairstyle is
Avant-Garde looks like something Ive seen at the Bronner Brothers Hair show before… A good designer steals, but reinvents and makes things relevant.. That’s what I see….... Good Design.
Love this post
