The Italian luxury industry fashion house Dolce&Gabbana unearthed Greco-Roman history for their spring-summer collection 2014. Their new collection and especially the accessories bear striking ancient Greek elements; the ancient Greek Ionic columns were introduced, dominating even the heels that strutted the runway; all the accessories are shouting "I love Greece."

This was a logical aesthetic transition for the Italian fashion house, after their winter collection which featured a strong Byzantine influence. Lithographs of sepia-hued, postcard-pretty crumbling columns, Greek temples and theaters printed over silk dresses.
