Forget the crazy worries of today, the pointless girl fights and television programs. Let’s go back to Ancient Rome. Here, all your fights are instantly solved with swords and your entertainment was lion fighting in the Coliseum. These were simpler times with elegant fashion. Inspiration came from metals, plants, rope and leather. While we are fully aware that time travel is not yet possible, try out these great gladiator-inspired looks to do as the Romans do. xx, Kristen Buchholz
