At New York Fashion Week this year, Tory Burch unveiled a Spring 2018 RTW collection that featured standout accessories like fidget spinner necklaces.
The reveal of the collection was staged on a runway in the open air, which offered a fitting way to show off breezy silk wrap dresses, poolside coverups and easy-to-wear tunics. One standout look sent down the runway took the form of a blue, green and white asymmetrical one-shoulder dress, which was paired with fidget spinner looped on a string worn around the model's neck.
Although fidget spinners can still be found in stores, the craze that captivated both child and adult consumers has settled some. Now, these accessories can be found on high-end runways, offering a fresh new spin on how the toys may be repurposed by the world of fashion and design.
