3 A tightly pleated, fuchsia silk chiffon gown from Yves Saint Laurent that Julianne Moore wore for a photo shoot also is displayed One of the primary reasons modest Greek gowns evolved into super-sexy dresses worthy of 21st-century screen sirens is the lack of any real prototypes, according to Koda "Respectable Greek women would be more similar to the dress of Muslims today with most of their bodies covered up," Koda said Nicole Kidman loaned her 2000 Oscar gown, an asymmetrical dress in gold lame from Christian Dior Haute Couture The styles, however, went into another period of hibernation while corsets were all the rage during the 19th century Instead, Western fashion designers and dressmakers over the past 600 years have found themselves using ancient sculptures for Greek inspiration, not actual clothes There are three silhouettes upon which all ancient Greek clothes are based: the chiton, a chemiselike shift made from two rectangles of fabric either pinned or sewn together at the shoulders; the peplos, a single piece of cloth wrapped like a cylinder and cuffed along the top with two brooch pins that attach the front to the back â€â€? it sometimes features a "girdle," a fabric sash that pulls the fabric closer to the body; and the himation, the rectangular cloak that influenced the later Hellenic wrap dresses org "There are no classical garments that have survived Taking liberty with the "clothes" was a way to show off the enhanced shapes, Koda explained In the 1930s, designers Madeline Vionnet and Madame Gres helped resurrect the goddess gowns, though they made them more formfitting by pulling the peplos' girdles in tighter and sometimes crisscrossing them at the bust instead of the waist The sculptors tried to make their subjects a more perfect version of the real-life models New Exhibit Features 'Goddess' Gowns Apr 29, 2:35 PM EST Is Jennifer Lopez the modern version of the Greek goddess? She sure looked the part at the 2001 Academy Awards when she wore that sheer, draped, one-shoulder Chanel gown Artists also added drapery to the garments in an effort to make the subjects seem more animated But the gowns they often wear are far more body-conscious and fluid than true Greek goddess designs, he explained â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: Metropolitan Museum of Art: http://www It's not like in Egypt where you'd find a body still clothed," he said In later centuries, those sculptures inspired painters, who put that idealized vision of Greek goddesses on canvas Classicized looks re-emerged in the late 1700s with exaggerated versions of the ancient raised waistlines (empire waists) "A classic Greek goddess dress might hide the body a little, and if you unstitched the dress and took out all the pins you'd have a rectangle of fabric," Koda said In some ways, Hollywood stars keep classical dress visible, said curator Harold Koda, because they are the goddesses of the red carpet Goddess gowns also are often depicted as one-shouldered, done in ancient times as a sign of the goddesses' mythic identity, which is why the Greeks are associated with asymmetrical necklines The details like the tight pleats has to do with artistic representation from a statue "All our ideas of classic dress is seen through art Regular Greeks, though, didn't wear this style Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the himation was a modest garment (although it was not unlike the more shapely Roman toga), but the basic shape can be seen in more provocative garments designed by Dolce & Gabbana, Versace and Ralph Lauren â€â€? all of whom are represented in "Goddess," which runs through Aug But this dress, which features strips of cloth of varying widths that are draped and twisted together, is at the heart of "Goddess," Koda said, and is pure classicism done in the most modern way Over the past decade, there has been a renewed interest in classicism, though at first one might not recognize Tom Ford's 2002 YSL Rive Gauche brown silk chiffon dress as Greek inspired â€â€? it's deconstructed to the point of looking shredded Classicism went from cloth to stone to painting to cloth," Koda said metmuseum The memorable dress designed by Karl Lagerfeld is among the 120 outfits that trace the influence of Aphrodite, Hera and Athena on contemporary fashion at The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibit, "Goddess," which opens Thursday A rescue helicopter and lifeboat ferried most of the contestants to the island, while one hardy soul chose to swim "The back of the boat has broken The remaining nine were competing for a single 100,000 euro (US$117,000) prize ie/tv/cabinfever/index It is actually in two pieces, and the waves are knocking the planks and timber around," Switzer said " The accident itself wasn't caught on camera, he said, because the crew had stopped shooting for the day 4-meter), two-masted schooner struck rocks Friday afternoon near Tory Island off Ireland's northwest coast But our contestants are safe," said Stuart Switzer, a Coco Television Productions producer responsible for the program, speaking by telephone from the remote scene "There is debris all over the water and all over the shore " The contestants â€â€? five men and five women â€â€? had been selected from among 6,724 applicants "We're not sure how yet, but it will go on Politicians criticized the program as irresponsible Within hours, the pounding surf had taken its toll on the disintegrating vessel, which was built in 1947 in France and had been heavily refurbished for the program rte Ship Hosting Reality TV Show Hits Rocks Jun 13, 2:43 PM EST A vessel carrying the cast and crew of Ireland's flagship reality TV show, "Cabin Fever," crashed into rocks and broke apart Friday, sparking despair from the program's producer â€â€? and criticism from politicians "It is very sad html (sp/twx) But the 90-foot (27 â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
