Trend Alert: Fringe Benefits.

Last year fringes suddenly took over duppatta borders, with the same instant they disappeared. However this time since the trend seems to have trickled down from the runways in Paris, its here to stay. Innovative designers such as Body Focus, Sana Safinaz and Kamiar have taken notice.

Sana Safinaz goes long and asymmetric, Kamiar opts for short and sweet while Body Focus is an all out warrior in Fringe. 

Savour trends as they happen, right here on SS!

FAKES ARE NEVER IN FASHION!

Nothing gets me going more crazy than a fake product. Why?

It's ok to wear something non-branded, or reasonably priced but NEVER  a fake.

Harper's Bazaar tells you why... Click Here.

This guy is impossible...
