Throughout the fashion week, fringe made an appearance one way or another. Be it in the form of Area's silvery and buttery art on garters and gowns, or Palomo Spain's ultra-thin strands on blouses and denim, fringe sure did make its presence known. Fringe detailing across collections adds a nonchalant yet dramatic flair to any ensemble.
