“A flair for fashion”

💡🔵💡🔵

🔵🟡🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. Not being an especially fashion-conscious person (as one look at me will tell you), I was somewhat dreading tackling today's theme: "A flair for fashion."

At first I thought the word "flair" in the theme might point towards seventies styles, but this was disproven by my first clue which revealed LACE. It wasn't hugely helpful, so I used another which gave me FRINGE.

It was only when I saw TASSEL diagonally above it that I got a feeling for the spangram: CLOTHINGACCENTS, which snakes around the entire board.

Two answers were left to find, and both were reasonably easy to locate, given they were cordoned off in different sections by the spangram. SEQUINS was in the top left, while EMOBROIDERY was spelt backwards along the right-hand side.
