Cowboy, flapper, hippie, high tech—who knew fringe had such a big vocabulary?  Fringe dresses can range from being casual day dresses to lassic chic fashion.  So for all us fashionistas, this fringe trend supplies us with our day dresses or evening dresses, really any style of dresses we wish for. 

Fringe Away on the Runways

Alexander McQueen's pieces were more to the structured side with sinew-esque fringing slinking around the body. Jil Sander's fringing was long and free-flowing, Alberta Ferretti's delicately pretty; while Gaspard Yurkievich took inspiration more from the Burlesque than the Jazz Age.

How to wear it
It depends largely upon the style and themeing of the piece. A pair of long, toned legs work wonders for a short fringed skirt; those lacking need to be a tad more cautious. The appeal of fringing also owes alot to the way it moves, so pay careful attention to buying quality fabrics that shimmy and shine and don't clump unattractively together.
