“My focus is really old-fashioned,” Ford told Vogue.com. “I want to do classic clothes. I don’t want to do trendy collections that swing around from season to season. I want to do things that will stay in a woman’s wardrobe a long time—quite ‘forever’ pieces. So I’m looking for consistency.”

Call me square come a couple of years, but fringe never goes out of style in my mind. Big on the spring runways, this trend can easily be worn in the form of fall jackets and ponchos. DvF knows how to do bohemian chic right.

Don't wait until Spring to channel your inner Roaring Twenties babe. You can work the drop waist right now with your favorite flapper dress. Keep this embellished beauty in mind for a holiday party - throw on a fur shrug and you're ready to go.

And speaking of holiday parties, what dress is more perfect than this? Mesh has been on the scene for a few seasons now, and we can't get enough. Thigh-highs will keep your legs warm with no waistband show-through at the lower back.

Walking around with one bare shoulder doesn't mean a chill is inevitable. This skin-baring trend isn't seasonal when worn the correct way. Throw in cashmere and a scarf and you'll be in business for the colder months.

The blooming shape of a peplum doesn't only come alive in spring; you can wear this ultra-feminine shape year round. Pair a long sleeve blouse and boots with this skirt in the fall for a chic downtown look.

Just because you're cold and miserable doesn't mean you have to look it. Sorbet may be the hot color palette for Spring 2012, but a nice pair of silk trousers in October never hurt anyone. Pair with a blazer and razor sharp pointed-toe boots for a smart daytime look.

Here lie the ass-less chaps of which we speak. They're cheeky – not a far cry from a young Betsey Johnson or Vivienne Westwood. And they got people talking.

Jeremy busts a move into toward the Texas Tuxedo with jean on jean, however, in shapes anew. We're harking back to the overall, a natural progression on our 90's kick, but that chainmail bandana brings that garment to a new light.

In the most salable aesthetic of the show, he brings a southwestern feeling print into the colors we'll want for spring - sans brown undertones.

Desert-ready, the cacti and sunglass motif at least gave us something refreshing: it's

The middle fringe is a cool new way of envisioning the shape of fringe. The two on the outs prove not all that's gold, glitters.

You're giving too much cowbell here. No, we didn't think it was possible either. But dangling question marks off mesh? Studded fringed red leather dress? Fire emblazoned hot rods? (Okay, fine, look at Prada.) But the cow print beneath Barbie pink boob heart cutouts is weird enough, then he ends it with the Jersey-shore-ready bikini body trompe l'oeil sequins. So while there are lovely bits to this collection, it is insulated with a thick layer of kook. Which is just how Jeremy Scott likes it. There is just enough wearability within this show that he should do just fine with his ho's at the market. Well enough to show what literal theme he'll stab at next season.

The sweetest color story to ice the runway is sherbet's pastel palette. Light and fruity, it harkens back to childhood only with a twist of business silhouette.

Sportswear is actively working its way into the daily regalia. It'll leave you prepared to break a sweat without a change.

This overskirt piece has been adding volume since the 19th century. Now done in our favorite muted brights, they kick a pencil skirt up.

Leave a sleeve off for the asymmetry of it. The cut is feels right in sheer and bouncy textiles.

Fringe is falling on spring, shagging shirts and leaving them stringy. Shimmy and shake in this new take on the 20's trim.

We already sniffed out the painted floral trend on the third day of NYFW, but the powerful flower prints just keep on sprouting. Whether digitized in a McQueenian manner or illustrated á la art deco, the prints we've been going gaga over have the same common blooming thread.

Look 1:  Trompe L’ace

The Lace Fringed Dress, $125

This piece is so versatile because it becomes what is beneath it. The low swinging fringe makes the dress substantial.

The Nude Bra Top, $65

The top underneath is made of lace – pile the two laces atop one another and they become opaque. The bra hits the bottom of the ribcage, which equals more skin coverage from the lace.

The High Nude Shorts, $125

These thick silky shorts hug the body close and make a great layer unto itself. The length just happened to cut at the exact proportion necessary for this visual effect.

The Lace Cutout Kimono Jacket, $225

Found in varying lengths throughout the store, this particular piece comes to a sheer end at the bottom of the dress fringe. The silk swims to complement the shape beneath, and it has the capacity to fit a multitude of situations. However you decide to style it, it can work inside the house or out, day or night.

The Vintage Man’s House Slipper, $95

Now, these probably were not made with the intention of being indoor slippers, but they do remind me of what my grandfather used to wear, though his were not as pointy. The woven leather has been worn, and wear with ease. This look, however, could certainly do with a spicier pair of shoes.

DAY 1 dress code: Nothing gets you in the mood to rock out to 200 bands in the middle of the California desert like some fringe.  Pair it up with a good pair of jorts, some rainbow kicks, and a feathery bracelet a-la-your inner spirit child and you’ll be all set for a day in the sun.

DAY 1 Survival Tip: Low maintenance makeup: you don’t want to look like a melty clown.  Your outfit and accessories are going to be so stylish that you won’t need a lot of face time, plus anything you put on will evaporate within the first 2 Robyn songs.  Go for an SPF laden tinted moisturizer, cheek and lip stain for some color, and water proof eyeliner for those who can’t live without (like moi).  Keep the lipgloss and sunblock on hand and you’re good to go!

LOOK FOUR: Skirt Becomes Dress

The Convertible Dress: Funktional, $120

Yesterday I showed this as a floor length skirt. Now it’s a mid calf, deep V strappy dress. Imagine now wrapping the straps into a strapless, or as a true halter, or any way you can think to wear it. The tie strands are connected in the waistband by a strip of hidden elastic which allows for fluid flexibility. Lisa and Nicole were telling me there’s five ways to wear this dress, but they hadn’t seen it this way yet, which leads me to believe there are more undiscovered modes of styling this Funktional skirt/dress.

The Cropped Blazer: Mary Meyer, $55 (originally $110)

Cut from athletic cloth, this blazer has a soft feel under the edged look. And I highly recommend you watch the highlariously choreographed look book video on her homepage.

The Fringe Heel Pump: Messeca, $110 (originally $158)

Still lingering from Fall, the cascading fringe caught my eye. Leather tassels pouring out of the backend of a pump is wildly unexpected, and feels slightly equestrian to me. Messeca is a brand that likes to experiment with unusual textures and shapes, and thus fits like a glove within Court‘s walls.

The Leather Hair Corset: Court, $48

I wore the hair corset in every look at Court because I’m digging the way it pulls my hair to a low side ponytail, functioning almost as a braid, without having to braid my hair. There are so many possibilities with a hair accessory like this. And they carry it in a size half as big, just two rows of hooks to loop around.

Who wore it best?

Fine, I see your point. But I’m not a model, she is. How’s a lady to compete with that?

Loving the silver chain hardware as well. You can get this bag for $495 at Net-a-Porter.

Macho, macho – fail.

Where to begin? Black fringe, silver studs and mini-lockets, oh my! CLEARLY, none of these elements belong on khaki-colored converse. That is – unless you’re 6-foot-ten, 250 and respond to “The Hammer.”

Custo Barcelona has come a long way since his printed tops a few years ago…showing both a female and male collection of fringe and over-exaggerated print, I am definitely having a hard time imagining these pieces off the runway. An almost unwearable collection, the models don’t even seem excited about wearing the garments, which is never a good sign!

Thanks Jezebel

The words fringe and leggings together is enough to make me cringe, but these are in a league of their own. Incase you’re halloween costume is not yet complete these are available at Beyond the Valley for £ 84.00. Otherwise, please stay away or you will end up looking like a 5 year old boy riding a wooden horse.

What’s with all the fringe? At first I thought Lindsay was carrying a bag, but it looks like it’s a full on fringe vest…and the fringe boots on little Lohan, so last season…

I do gotta compliment LiLo’s gladiator inspired sandals, pretty cool!
