Drama! Bold one shoulder dresses made a big appearance on runways this season.

7) Bows

Bows on the shoulder, back, front, all over. Bows are a hot new detail.

9) Textures and Pleats

I love the texture on this dress, and the pleats (or accordion style) is all over the runways.

6) Origami
Dress by Angel Sanchez
Bold shapes and edges are a hot new trend. I love this dress above.

8) 50's Flair
Dress by Anne Barge
Maybe it is the influence of Mad Men but the 50's and 60's look is back, a throw back to a classic era. Channeling Audrey Hepburn!

It's safe to say drama rules the runway this season. Have fun with it. These are great styles. It's going to be an exciting season.
