Fringe me High

When exactly does a trend become classic? Can a last year’s must-have become an all-time-classic garment within one year? It depends, a good lawyer would answer. I am not a lawyer (although I’m great in creating arguments), but i have a strong instinct and i say that fringes are most likely to become a summer “forever & ever can’t-do-without thing” – a classic, in other words! I definitely don’t feel the same about knitted stuff and of course, i bet that next year we won’t come across the latest madness of sewing embroidery designs in any kind of trousers or jackets. Anyhow, the case-study here was to successfully combine three fashion tendencies and decide whether or not this is a wearable outcome! (Is it too much? Will you come across photos of you, in a few years, wondering whether or not you were attending a theme party?) Place your bets please, and don’t forget that after all..The choice is yours…
