Spring/Summer 2009 brought back King Tut from his tomb and slapped him directly on the runways of New York Fashion Week. Several designers reincarnated the draping, wrapping and ruching with a modern twist. While this trend is very similar to inspiration from ancient Greek fashion, careful not confuse it…Zeus wouldn’t be caught a day in his immortal life wearing gauzy strips or pleated sleeves. 

I know the thermometers have just dropped and spring seems several snow and ice storms away, but keep the mummy look in the back of your mind until you can “unwrap” it in March!
