Pauldrons
Ubiquitous in video game character design and well known to fantasy costumers the world over, the pauldron is the big, badass ancestor of shoulder pads. We’re not participating in any jousts, sure, but does everyone who drives and F-150 haul around mulch all day? No. It’s called fashion people.

Bliauts
Modern life means, for many, sitting at a dang keyboard all day. Gone are the days of rising with the sun and toiling in rhythm with the Earth for many of us. Which is the perfect excuse to bring back bliauts. These classic princess sleeves were a sign of a life so luxurious, you didn’t need to use your arms. Just the hands and wrists for delicate work like crocheting or say, typing an angry email to your boss and then deleting it.

Crakows
These shoes took Europe by storm in the 1400’s and we’re gonna need them to come back in style, because they are sweet, hot, FIRE. What doth your crush swoon over? Pointy toes, it is certain. Why did these long toed shoes come into fashion? Well, the theory goes that royalty started wearing them and everyone else followed suit. Kind of like what Beyonce is doing for fringe right now. The toes on crakows got so long, that movement became difficult. Sometimes the points had to be tied up to the shins in order to walk around. We need a heroic designer to bring these back so we can say, “sorry bruh, I can’t go for a hike, my shoes are too long.”
