Spring Sheer

Koi Suwannagate

Christopher Kane

Charles Anastase

Sheer isn't the most translatable fashion trend but there's something entice about these looks. Koi Suwannagate does it a little bohemian- 'so what if my skirt shows my body suit'. Whereas Charles Anastase mixes innocent schoolgirl with the sultry promise of something more. Christopher Kane, as always, blows me away with his creativity. Tranparency is merely the prefect canvas to his delicately formed half loops.

Fringe Fashion

I'm usually not a fan of fringe (especially the fringe boot trend last fall) because, let's be honest, sometimes it looks ridiculous. To wear it well, I think you just need some attitude. Lily and Irina know how to pull it off. Hair let down and rocking it in boots, they exude 'cool' girl or in Irina's case 'rocker's girlfriend.'


When I thought of fringe, I was reminded of the Fringe Fashion competition from last fall. The winner Eun Jeong Hong had a fantastic collection of Grecian white dresses decked with fringe. She did something elegant and romantic with fringe that I really appreciate.

Fringe can also be found on accessories. Etsy shop BabooshkaBoutique sells a variety of fringe necklaces that look amazing against a white cotton tank. A fringe necklace is a fun and unexpected addition to any wardrobe, and it only costs $30-$40. On the other hand, the completely fringed out Louboutins that border that edge between cool and ridiculous are $1,695. They take fringed shoes to a whole new level.

Lily Donaldson's picture is from a UK Vogue editorial called “Fringe Festival” that's worth checking out. Lily, being the model maverick she is, creates movement with her hair and the fringe resulting in some beautiful pictures.
