Sashes and fringe are in for spring



If you're starting to think about spring fashion, here's a tip: Get used to walking with things swinging from your body.
Fringe, tassels, ribbons and ropes are among the hot details designers loved to let flow during the spring designer shows.
Michael Kors wrapped brocade knee pants with a sash that resembled a drapery pull. Lily Pulitzer used what looked like fringed piano shawls as skirts over skirts. And Douglas Hannant tied a long swinging fringed sash over pants.
The good news is you can probably shop in your own home. Try the piano shawl around your waist. Look for drapery tassels around the house. Then you have to get accustomed to walking with fabric bouncing about you.
Just don't get it caught in the car door.
