Spring 2014 Fringe Trend
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.
