Rediscovering Trends

The “Fringe” is a style stuck with American culture for decades, through prominent celebrities keeping the trend alive like Elvis Presly and Jimmy Hendrix. Hendrix had his own custom-made white fringe jacket that he wore at Woodstock. The style was not limited to any specific gender.

Women wore fringe clothing, too, with an authentic design no less. The Native Americans pioneered it, with their fringe on the bottom of the hem or sleeves of their clothing. It helped dry the cloth; if it got wet, the water would not get trapped in the fabric. The woman photographed in this image is wearing something similar.
