Fringe, the trend that dances

The autumn–winter runways have spoken: the fringe trend is back, pared down, monochrome and designed for movement. Gone is the head-to-toe costume; a single piece is enough, and it is that piece which sets the rhythm of the whole silhouette. There is, in fact, only one rule, and it is this: fringe is worn exactly as you please.

The fringe jacket and fringe jeans

The fringe jacket is the most coveted piece of the season. Worn over straight-leg jeans and a crisp white shirt, it says everything on its own; draped over the shoulders of a black dress, it turns every step into a small performance. Fringe jeans, for their part, won over social media before they reached the street: from the designers’ runways to the TikTok tutorials that teach you to fringe your own pair, this is the denim we shall be wearing all winter long.

The fringed sarong, from the beach to the city

It is the freest piece of the season, and doubtless the most creative. The fringed sarong is no longer confined to the beach: knotted at the hip over jeans, it accessorises a silhouette with rare originality; worn over tuxedo trousers, it composes an unexpected evening look; tied as a top, it bares the shoulders with quiet elegance. Our asymmetric lurex pareo catches the light with every movement, while our asymmetric lycra pareo lets its thirty- or fifty-centimetre fringe fall beneath our Psea-K prints. Every woman has her own way of tying it and wearing it, and that is precisely where style begins.

The fringe kaftan

The kaftan has always had a certain chic. Edged with fringe, it takes on an almost nocturnal allure: worn as a dress, belted or loose, it glides through the day with effortless ease, over a swimsuit on the beach and then, once evening falls, to a dinner with your toes in the sand. Our lurex kaftan comes with or without fringe, as each woman prefers.

The fringe bag, the finishing touch

When an outfit is understated, a fringe bag is all it takes to bring it to life. Carried at the wrist, it dances with every gesture; worn on the shoulder, it lends a note of fantasy to jeans and a cashmere jumper. The satin Knot Bag lets its fringe fall beneath its Japanese knot, the lurex Knot Bag sets it shimmering, the fringed Balagan II wears it boldly in terry for days in the sun, while the fringed bandana bag brightens a day in town. Embroidered with your initials, it becomes a piece like no other.

How to wear fringe: my inspirations

To inspire you, I have gathered on Pinterest the silhouettes I love: fringe worn with daring or with restraint, but always with allure. A selection that will keep growing as the season unfolds.

Fringe imposes nothing; it follows your lead. Whether it edges a sarong knotted over a tuxedo, the sleeve of a jacket or the hem of a bag, it lends the silhouette that extra breath of life no static piece could ever give. They say trends come and go; movement, on the other hand, is here to stay.
