The Craze: Fringe Forever

The Craze is a trend report bringing you the latest (and, duh, the greatest) in beauty and style.


The latest trend as seen on the catwalks proves to be the organic addition of fringe. It’s hard not to notice the bouncy layers added to dresses, bags, and even shoes. Fringe adds the seductive element of movement to garments-especially on the runway. Designers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Versace and Ralph Lauren have all embraced this flashy new trend, incorporating fringe into many of their dress designs.

Fringe can bring a bohemian aspect to designs adding a casual element to refined garments. It can also add an element of sophistication that can be seen in some 1920 styled designs that is also reflected in Louis Vuitton’s collection with beaded metal and Swarovski crystal fringe dresses. Overall, this trend is being readily adapted in designer collections and can be seen on the runway, the red carpet and everywhere in between.
