In Greek mythology, an angry Zeus commanded his son to create the first woman, a “beautiful evil” whose descendants would torment the race of men. So, Hephaestus formed Pandora, the first mortal female who was given “seductive gifts” by each of the gods. Athena then dressed her in a silvery gown and sent her off to open a big box of fun… or something like that.

Farah Angsana’s celestial SS12 collection boasted silk rope belts, contoured flounces, and ascending waist-lines. Simultaneously soft and bright, Farah’s magnetic presentation obscured the lines between sweet and tempting.

There has never been a better Valentine than Fashion Week. On Monday, Guishem’s model presentation proved itself worthy of our V-day affections. But regardless of the holiday, The Box at Lincoln Center traded Aphrodite for Athena to exhibit Guillermo Jop’s “warrior goddess vibe.”

Models, sporting geometric mini-dresses and mixed-media gowns, stunned guests with an Iris-inspired color palette in contrast fabrics. Neon hosiery with bold side-seams were worn Lolita-style along high, structural shoes, asymmetrical necklines, and sheer overlays. Body-skimming silhouettes with cutout details combined the ideas of fantasy with fierceness, and grace with agility.

Wanting nothing more than a sheer cape and tall-danger-heels, this warrior goddess left Lincoln Center with a few favorites for her wish list... Has Zeus paid off the Visa yet?
