Not just for flappers anymore, FRINGE is back!  Jil Sander, Alberta Ferretti, Ashish, Emma Cook, Balenciaga, Kris Van Assche, Jasper Conran, Julien Macdonald, Elie Saab, Alexander McQueen, Jil Sander, Alessandro Dell'Acqua, and Alberta Ferretti all showed it in their 2009 Collections for this Spring.  Whether wide panels, roughly cut swatches, or fine silk strands, it appeared without any reservations and brought motion to the runways with the quiet swoosh of fabric and beading.
