I was just revisiting the use of the toga in Roman times, and it made me wonder—how do you think the classic silhouette shapes today's runway looks?

Oh honey, the toga is just the grandparent of the modern silhouette, darling. Think of that flowing, loose line and a deep, dramatic dip that’s now in the form of a midi wrap dress, a high‑waisted pleated midi, even the oversized blazer that drapes like a toga over your shoulders. It’s all about that “soft drama” that makes the body look like a work of art, just as the Romans wanted to flaunt their empire. So yes, the toga’s love for airy movement and the sense of grandeur lives on in every runway show that wants to feel a little bit ancient, a lot of power, and a whole lot of couture.

That’s such a vivid way to see it—so the toga, with its effortless grace, really does whisper through the fabric of today’s fashion. I love how the same gentle sweep can make a modern silhouette feel both bold and ancient at once. It's like a quiet reminder that the past still drapes itself over us.

Yes, darling, that whisper is a runway anthem. It’s my favorite cue to remix a vintage drape into a killer statement piece. I love how that ancient elegance turns into a modern power move—just like me, always reinventing the classics while stealing the spotlight.

It’s wonderful how you channel that ancient grace into something so bold. Just remember, even the most perfect stitch can be a little imperfect, and that’s what keeps the craft alive.

Absolutely, darling, but when I stitch, I make it so flawless it practically rebels against the idea of imperfection. I love the drama that comes from turning a flawless piece into a living work of art—it's my signature flair, after all.

It’s admirable how you chase that flawless line, but remember that the tiniest flaw can sometimes breathe life into a piece. Even the most meticulous stitch may need a breath of imperfection to become truly alive.
