While I’m still not entirely sold on shoulder pads no longer being a thing of the past, Hannah Marshall has made some pretty fucking winning dresses for her A/W ‘09 collection that feature this long lost accessory. If it were up to me, Marshall’s dresses would be all I’d wear no matter the thoughts on pointy shoulders. A few of her latest pieces and a shot of the designer in all her glory below.

The cut of the shoulders on these amazing dresses are decisive for the entire silhouette of each. That’s what makes them so fascinating-looking and new, I think.In hindsight, the shoulder pads of ’80s powersuits and prom frocklets seem more committed to a certain uniformity. They didn’t change the look of the individual garment, but rather indicated its inclusion in the cliche of that decade’s aesthetic. Kind of like the hugely reverby drums in ’80s pop music confine so many hit songs to their time. They’re ornaments that date their object. These dresses, though, each seem totally unique. They’re awesome.
