Saying draping is everywhere is nearly as much of a cliche as saying that decade is back. From Balenciaga to Lacroix, designers are advising us to channel our inner Greco-Roman statues (which were, not so subtly, referenced on the Viktor & Rolf runway). Known most for its red-carpet frocks, Marchesa pulled out a top or two that can take this trend more casual. Copies predicted at Topshop no later than next month.
