Whenever someone mentions the flapper era, we immediately think of the iconic fashion movement of the 1920s with its shapeless, shimmery dresses adorned with layers of fringe.

While modern variations of the flapper fringe trend have occasionally surfaced, they haven’t significantly impacted the fashion industry.

However, after seeing Lily Collins don a Chanel Pre-Fall 2014 fringe skirt at the brand’s Fall/Winter 2014-2015 runway show, it’s tempting to believe that the flapper trend might make a complete comeback.

The 25-year-old wore a printed knitted sweater over her metallic silver and red fringe pencil skirt. The contrasting colors, textures, and finishes made Lily a standout fashion contender at the event.

The Mortal Instruments actress also carried a fringed bag. To add even more interest to her ensemble, she wore pinstripe-printed pumps. The outfit worked beautifully despite the clash of prints, colors, and textures!
