Trend Talk Tuesdays: Fringed Boots
The thing about fashion is the endless repeating cycles it runs through! We’ve seen the comeback of a lot of 70s and 80s trends ranging from headbands to leather and studs, and now the hippy chick look seems to be back in full swing with the emergence of fringe boots since Fall/Winter 2008. Personally, I’m not that big on this trend as it’s bordering slightlytoo 1960s Woodstock for me, but what do you think?
Playing Stylist: Fringe
Following Eliza Lee's trend talk post on fringe, I gave the fringe trend a shot. Here are a few looks I came up with:
Trend Talk Tuesdays: Fringe
Touted the 'Pocahontas' look, fringe has been present on the runways to high street stores and our favourite boutiques much more of late. At first, it was infused on dresses and bags, as seen for Miu Miu and Prada in 2007 and Tod's in 2008. After the obvious welcome many in the fashion world gave it, fringe started to adorn scarves, shoes, and even leggings. It also evolved to being longer, wilder, and bolder in terms of colour and materiel. We've been keeping our eyes open for this trend for ages now, and even wrote a post about it before when we spotted some great DIYed ones on Lookbook.
DIY Fringe
I was surfing on Lookbook when I spotted this pretty wicked DIY fringe collar top made by Trang from Florida. It led me wanting to post about it, which led me to adding a few more pictures from other Lookbookers who have posted their fringe fetish. Click to view how fringe has evolved from being on boots, bags and vests!
