Its a new design concept...right?

In fashion, nothing is really new.  From the shoulder pads to leather pants, history always manages to play some sort of roll in 'new' fashion designs whether it be obvious or subtle.  
On the top have an artists interpretation of what the original volume filled dresses may have looked like.  On the bottom, some hundred years later, we have the Alexander McQueen 2009 fall line where multiple volumouse dresses were shown such as this large hounds tooth piece. 

Excuse me...I can't see over your hat.
No lady is complete without her hat.  And no one knows more about that than legendary hat designer Phillip Treacy.  On the left we have another artists interpretation of some of the earliest large hats.  On the right we have another work of art by hat master to the stars, Phillip Treacy. 

GOOD MORNING SHOULDER PAD!

The ladies of the 80's and the golden girls arent the only ones who appreciate a nice shoulder pad.  Fashion Icons such Rihanna, Victoria Beckham and Katy Perry have recently been spotted sporting an elevated shoulder. The shoulder pad has permeated the fall collections of many designers.
