The History of Fashion: Most Important Style Moments of the 20th Century
1960s: Fringe

She was largely influenced by American Indian clothing and while there is some controversy behind it, Cher also claimed to be 1/16 Cherokee. We don't know for sure if she is or isn't, but we do know that her fashions spawned an entire generation of fringe-wearing women and men.
