At New York Fashion Week on Wednesday, the designers weren't just looking to their muses for inspiration--they were raiding the muses' closets.

The draped, asymmetrical Greek goddess look dominated, complementing the one-shoulder styles that have been so popular on the runways.

The look was strong and sexy without being revealing, and popped up with a sexy '70s spin at Halston, in a fresh gingham at Michael Kors and in a flowy drape at Max Azria. Nearly every designer had an interpretation of the look--quite a feat with more than 100 designers showing at New York Fashion Week over eight days.

However the look is achieved, it's clear: The bare shoulder, which emerges and retreats depending on the fashions of the times, has reclaimed its starring role.
