Spring 2014 Fringe Trend

fringe-trend-mark-fast-spring-2014

From Philip Lim to Chanel the fringe trend took the spring 2014 fashion shows by storm. Dresses, sweaters, skirts and even accessories took center stage adorned with the edgy tassel effect. Now don’t be afraid to give this look a try for fear of looking like a cowgirl coming from out west. This year’s version lends more to an 80’s chic or rocker/punk vibe. If you would like to attempt this trend in a more subtle form then accessories are the way to go. We spotted numerous gorgeous fringed handbags such as this noire purse by Gucci.

If you are a lover of sunglasses then you will be blown away by the designs of Karen Walker for her spring 2014 collection. What artistry does Karen display for spring 2014? Large frames, bold colors and even leopard animal print permeate the design flavor of Walker’s collection for this season.

Nevertheless, what is even more exciting about this line of accessories is the pairing between Walker with artisans from the country of Kenya. Thanks to the United Nations’ ITC Ethical Fashion Initiative, Karen was connected with a group of Kenyan artisans that added their very own flair of fashion to the collection. Together these talented and stylish women were able to design and produce an unique line of embellished pouches that will be included with each pair of frames purchased.

This clearly demonstrates that amazing fashion can be found in any place of the world. It is a joy to see the compilation of hard work and construction of fabulous accessories by this group of women. Enjoy the photos of Karen Walker’s spring 2014 collection which are modeled by the artisans themselves.

Black Models Cindy Bruna and Malaika Firth in Prada Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign

 

Wow and we thought Firth being apart of the fall 2013 Prada campaign was the start of something really good! Cindy Bruna is also making her historic mark in Prada’s Spring/Summer 2014 Campaign. Out of the 18 models 2 were black women. It is definitely a glamorous start to see more women of color featured in this light.

Firth and Bruna are one of the first black models to be chosen to take part in a Prada campaign since Naomi Campbell in 1994.

The text from the corresponding release:

“Steven Meisel’s Spring/Summer 2014 campaign for Prada reflects the fierce and independent spirit of the collection. Teams of models hold us in their collective gaze, looking forward in a united vision.

Dresses, coats and accessories come alive with giant mural prints of female faces, layering contrasting dimensions of femininity. The walls of the Via Fogazzaro show space in Milan were similarly transformed, emblazoned with ‘In the Art of the Multitude’ – a contemporary muralists’ and illustrators’ vision of female representation, power and multiplicity.

Striped sporty detailing at necklines and busts emphasizes the feeling of team photographs, but then the scale is magnified, the cropped images accentuating detail in the frame. The effect is a surreal wallpaper of textures, colours, and the luxurious detail of the clothing.

Glowing with independent truth, a youthful idealism and aggressive optimism unites this modern feminine troupe.”
