Fringe Benefits

Jill Sander:


It would be very difficult not to make note of the fringe trend that appeared in abundance on the Spring runways. What is most interesting though is to study how designers' interpreted the famed adornment to achieve varying styles that ran the gamete. For starters, Alberta Ferretti and John Paul Gaultier channeled the flirty style of the Roaring 20s creating modern day chic flapper dresses fit for any fashion party. Also of note included Anne Demeulemeester rocker chic crystal creations, brilliant 70s boho fringe at Alessandro Dell' Aqua and Jill Sander. Perhaps the most authentic formation came from McQueen whose entire garment was beautifully draped and gathered with long pieces of fringe.  It's a sure bet— all of these dramatic styles offer fringe, with benefits!
