Get the look: Vena Cava

Filed under: Clothing, Fashion Week, Get the Look

OMG! Designers Lisa Mayock and Sophia Buhai of Vena Cava totally understand us and our weird obsession with Egypt. The one that we liked to keep our little secret – until now! Their collection, which the pair call "Egyptomania," was full of ethnic influence and 70's style. At first glance, all we could think about is Bianca Jagger in all of her 70's glory, when the King Tut craze was at its peak. If she was an "It Girl" today, we think she would definitely be wearing some of the long skirts, transparent tops, and neck pieces that VC showcased.

Though the influences come from decades and centuries ago, the looks were anything but dated. They incorporated some of the week's biggest trends like shimmer, shine, and plunging necklines. We were also absolutely smitten with the long maxi skirts and dresses as well as the soft, dusty colors.

So make like Cleopatra and get the look via our gallery.
