Fringe embellishments are not a new trend per se, with sightings on bags, shoes, dresses, what-have-you since at least 2008. But this time, they're not just accentuating a design. They are the design. A fringe free of flapper girls and cowboys, Denis Gagnon's latest foray is uncharted and fans are screaming genius.

Couture art? Yes. Magnificence in motion? No doubt. But the commercial question remains ... will Denis Gagnon's latest runway obsession translate into trend?
