Year after year, students heading off to college stock up on dorm essentials at Bed Bath & Beyond. But in 2015, the store's offerings go way past plastic shower caddies and beds in a bag.
In fact, it seems Bed Bath & Beyond has been working to up their fashion credentials. The store now carries a number of products licensed by brands more frequently seen on catwalks than on campuses. Kate Spade, DKNY, and Vera Wang are among the labels who have pieces at Bed Bath & Beyond that are perfect for students. These 15 pieces aren't all found in the back-to-school aisles, but they'd still look right at home in any dorm.

Bring a playful spirit into your dorm room with the Kate Spade New York Harbour Stripe Comforter Set [1] ($180-$260).
A Bright Idea
Upgrade from the college-issued light with the addition of this Kenneth Cole Reaction Home Counterbalance Table Lamp [2] ($105, originally $150).

Adding window treatments will add polish to any room, and the DKNY Modern Lines 63-Inch Sheer Window Curtain Panel in Ivory [3] ($25-$50 per panel) can be easily hung.
