We have two theories about the SS18 collections. Either designers in their droves fell victim to a wayward paper shredder backstage, or (and stop us if this sounds farfetched) fringe is back with a vengeance this season… Gird your loins!
What's more, the tassels-by-the-trillion trend didn’t end on the runway, oh no – for Hillier Bartley, brainchild of London’s coolest twosome, Kate Hillier and Luella Bartley, it plays centre stage on the brand’s newest accessory silhouette, the Lantern bag.
Already a cult favourite among those in-the-know, it'll bring the glimmering shimmering Midas touch of joy to any ensemble; because, when your hand-candy is boogying with blissful abandon, even the most poker-faced among us would struggle not to crack a smile.
Such is the magic of fringe! Its killer moves may upstage you on the dancefloor, but that's a small price to pay for a trend that lifts the spirits with every swishy step. Good news for anyone looking to stick it to seasonal affective disorder.
