esigners are getting trim for spring, with

looks that reflect a fascination with fringing. Chanel’s

kaleidoscopic tweed jacket, constructed from inky

aquatic-inspired threads, has fringed cuffs with

loose threads flowing like fronds of kelp. At Pringle

of Scotland, an intricate macramé skirt has been

constructed from lengths of knotted rayon and

Japanese paper, while the swishing golden sleeves

of Hillier Bartley’s sweater bring a glam rock-inspired

exuberance to knitwear. And at Bottega Veneta,

this shimmering top has a handwoven intrecciato

panel whose weft gradually falls into fine fringing,

resembling dancing rays of sunlight.
