Fringe Culture
So, VOGUE already did an amazing story about the history of the use of fringe in fashion (starting with Native American Culture). Here's just one of the many amazing images from their archive and the story of fringe.
An image from VOGUE.COM's amazing article on fringe.
“During the 1920s, one of the most popular dances, the Charleston, lent its name to a dress completely covered in fringe, that would move and shake along with the body’s movement, revealing the legs. These embroidered or shawled dress invaded all of high society throughout America and Europe. blog/2010/12/december-28th#ad-image54900”
