Big Padded Shoulders

Ruffles may seem very old fashioned, but they have been all over the catwalks lately. They can look cute and romantic, perfect for date night!

 

Slogans

Slogans aren’t just for pre-teen girls who want to send a message to the world. Now you can send your own message! Many slogan t-shirts and even dresses were being shown off on the catwalk. Many even covered important issues such as feminism.

 

Furry Sliders

Really Expensive Artist Merchandise
