We’ve written about The Fringe Projects by Vibskov Emenius [before](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibskov-emenius-the-fringe-projects), and now the amazing artwork has been immortalized in ‘Fringe,’ a limited art publication.

The Fringe Projects revolve around, well, fringe. Not only is the series of artwork a fringe project of their respective jobs as a fashion designer and graphic designer, but the pieces are also all heavily permeated with fringe. Between hair, paper, plastic, and [mixed media](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes), there is a whole lot of gorgeous fringe for Vibskov Emenius to cover!

I really love the photos they did for Dazed & Confused, Japan as well as the spinning car wash [fringe installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral). The Fringe Projects have already been exhibited in Milan, Zurich and Copenhagen; now the Zeeuws Museum in the Netherlands is the first to exhibit the whole series of projects.
