The Criminally Chic

The Phidias-Kalos Pantarkes Collection is the name of Greek designer Vassilios Kostetsos' Spring 2010 runway show. Dresses encrusted in jewels wrapped in sheer overlays command attention. There was metallics, geometric patterns, leather, huge metallic corset belts, and beautiful gowns covered in sequins. I kept scanning the audience to see if Rihanna had snuck through a side entrance because any of the pieces looked like they could make an appearance in her next video. I'd kill to see her rocking some of the pieces from this collection like the metallic mini-dress with geometric shapes that shine like silver and rainbows or the black ball gown with goddess ruffles and sequined top. Overall, I felt like I was transported and lifted away to a time when fashion was all about fun and drama and less about recession and safety.
