Toronto Fashion Week: Full-motion fringe at Denis Gagnon

To say that Denis Gagnon‘s Spring show is fringed would be a 100 per cent accurate and yet far too simple description. This is not cowboy fringe. The strands of silk spilled down like a waterfall, were swagged like drapery, or snaked down mesh panels. The opening look featured a pair of pants that looked almost sinewy. In addition to the silk, Gagnon used fine metal chains to form delicate shoulders or an overlay on lace sleeves. For the finale, he made a shimmering dress with bare zip-away shoulders. There were a handful of pieces done in Gagnon’s signature draped and knotted leather that in any other show that week would have been the standout, but here they served as moments of stillness in show that was fully in motion.
