This is a very interesting one,which shows a slave boy helping the aristocrat youth drape the chiton. With his left hand he's pulling more matterial up,so it can be belted under the hidden belt.
EDIT: Also note that his chiton is long sleeved,exactly like Alexander's and the Persians' on the Alex. sarcophagus. On the Alex. mosaic,Alexander is the only greek with long sleeves,and Alexander was the first to adopt Persian dress. In the hunt fresco on the Vergina Tomb II Alexander wears a chiton draped like this,but in that case it's sleeveless

This one is clearer.

And in this one the first man is wearing a muscled cuirass and under its lower edge we see the "kolpos" of the chiton,chich might have been of an "eastern" chiton,or might not. The are more depictions of it on the frieze,and perhaps in funerary stelae befor or in the beginning of the 4th century.

And here is me wearing my chiton in such way

I'm not sure the athenians would be very reluctant to adopt anything that was in fashion,even if it was Persian in origin(and if it was,would they know it?). Persians and Ionians were in constant contact,and if the Ionians adopted something,then why not the Athenians too?
