One-shoulder fashion trend for 2008

We've long been discussing alternatives to using your breasts as a fashion feature in the fashion forums, and the best options have always come down to highlighting other parts of the body; your back and shoulders. That makes 2008 a perfect year for fashionisers, as we can indulge in both the backless fashion trend and the one-shoulder / single-shoulder trend.

Like most of 2008's fashion trends the one-shoulder trend first emerged in 2007, and it should come as no surprise that this is yet another trend started by hypermodel Kate Moss. Surprisingly though, it's not because this was a look that Moss was often seen wearing, but because it featured in her Kate Moss for TopShop range (modelled right by Irina Lazareanu).

As the feature piece of Moss' first TopShop collection, it wasn't long before we saw the look on everyone from Paris Hilton to Kate Bosworth. But don't let Paris put you off - along with the sheer trend the single-shouldered piece has fast become one of the defining looks of 2008!more
