The ancient Greeks had a huge impact on Western civilization with influential contributions in the areas of art, science, math and philosophy.

And from the the work on display by so many designers in the Spring 2011 collections, the ancient Greeks are once again inspiring fashion.

In some strange way, we have the astronomy of Aristotle, the geometry of Pythagoras and Euclid, and the science of Archimedes to thank for the beautifully draped dresses and the elegant simplicity that we’ll see plenty of this Spring.

Today’s VPOD is a beautiful example. This vintage 1970s jersey halter gown by Byron of Athens is simple, slinky and sexy.

It may be decades old, but it’s still a modern find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Posh Vintage.
