David Koma Fringe Dresses: The Knit Fringe Minis and Gowns

The short answer: David Koma fringe is draped knit, not leather. It falls from a one-shoulder neckline, from a halter and from the waist of a V neck dress, so it moves like a flapper hem without the weight. Start with the Full Fringe Skirt V Neck Knit Dress. Shop them at David Koma at Coveti and in mini dresses.

Searches for David Koma fringe dresses have more than doubled since the summer. These are the knit pieces in the collection, form-fitting and close, with fringe draped across the body rather than hung at the hem. That is the Koma twist: the fringe follows the line of the drape, so it sculpts as much as it swings.

How Koma uses fringe

• Draped across the body. On the one-shoulder gowns, fringe follows the asymmetric neckline and falls to a fringed hem.
• From a halter. On the knit minis, fringe drapes from the halter neck over the bust and hip.
• As a skirt. On the V neck dress, a full fringe overlay starts at the waist.

How to wear a fringe dress

Fringe moves, so let it. Keep shoes simple (a strappy sandal for summer, a pointed pump for winter) and skip bags with tassels and chains that tangle. A fringe mini works for a party, a fringe gown for a summer wedding. Because these are knits, they fit close; take your usual size in XS, S and M.

The Coveti verdict

Our pick is the full fringe skirt V neck knit dress. Of all the fringe pieces it has the most movement and the cleanest top, and the black means it works well beyond summer. The blue one-shoulder gown is the wedding guest choice. Both are knits, so they pack better than almost anything else in the house. Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor, Coveti.
