Famous Fashion 2012: fringes

The main trend for the followign season is: fringes! Franca Sozzani (in her"christmas blog spoke of fringes) and I believe taht it's amazign that designer such as versace but also Kane, Gucci and so on use so much fringes. Fringes are somethign trulyw odnerful for the movement that give to the dress and for the shapes that they coudlc reate.

This dress made in crepe cady and sold on LuisaViaRoma for 13000$ expresses the Versace style (I mean the style of Donatella, of course) and the essence of the fringes. The use of them here is gorgeus and the sex appeal of it is really cool! I love the dresses that Versace is making and this is one of my faovurite ones of the s/s 2011 collection.

[A little note: I find the dress almost "ugly" on the runway, but on the model of LuisaViaRoma shop everything is different...]

Giovanna Battaglia is the elder sister of Sara Battaglia. Sara is an up-and-coming bags designer who is especially interested in fringes. Her last creations were about classic bags (classic about the shapes, at least) with some fringes. But for the following s/s she purposes handbags that are completely decorated by fringes, so the fringes made the bag and the appearance is something like an "infinite bag" that hasn't a "solid structure". The result, for me, it's special, at least new, and is also interesting the trend that these bags represent. In fact a lot of designers are using the fringes in their creations: the fringes are becoming the "heart" of the accesories and clothes. For instance, Trussardi 1911 purposed for this f/w men sneakers totally made with fringes (in suede), Gucci and Versace for the following s/s presented elegant dresses taht are made with a large use of fringes. So, I believe that these bags are the "model" of a trend that will remain in the fashion system for a long time, I think.
