Gladiators and Native Americans - A History Lesson

Walking on the streets of the very-trendy greenwich village, it is impossible to notice some common trends in "foot fashion" (shoes lol).

Gladiators and Native Americans - A History Lesson
Any FLY-GIRL knows history tends to repeat itself in fashion. We have re-done the 60s hippie/bohemian look as well as the 80's new wave looks and the 40s/50s skinny pants. Therefore the only times left to borrow from are Ancient Rome and the Pre-Conquered Americas???!???

While you ponder how the fashion world thought to swagger-jack from Spartans and early Native Americans, take a look at these designs. Also, click on the links for more information about the origins of each trend.


264 BCE ???!???


1615 ???!???





264 BCE + 1615 = ±1879 ???!???



As ridiculous as the inspiration seems... you know you want at lease one of these items to add to the FLYness! I know I already got one from each set haha!
