The peplum, a short overskirt usually attached to a jacket, made its first appearance in the 19th century. However, it was in 2012 that the look really came back. On the runway, Badgley Mischka, Jason Wu, Cushnie et Ochs, Givenchy, and Thakoon all showcased the peplum in a variety of ways, attaching the overskirt to jackets, dresses, skirts, tops, and maxis.
