Fringe originated from the native America tribes; but i dont want to put you all to sleep with history, so i will proceed to its import in today's fashion.
Fringe came in the 1920s as the spice of the 'flapper dress'(a popular dress style for women then). And you know what they say: "What goes around comes around." Well, fringe is back! but this time, it reincarnated as the lace's buddy. All the fringe does is to make your dress look good.
