I will be constantly checking the response and if I see any interesting ones, I will post them right here (which means this entry will be in a constant update mode). Last week's topic was Celebrity Clothing Lines and this week, it leads back to one of my personal favorite topic: Trend vs Personal Style.

Synopsis:
As many of you know, many designers have showcased their latest S/S 2011 collections these few weeks and there are a few trends I have noticed for the womenswear: fringe, chiffon (huge trend in NYFW), python pattern and studs.


Question:
As designers are showcasing the trends for next season, some of the elements are not totally wearable. The question is, should we continuously follow the fashion trend for each season or should we develop our own personal style to showcase our strength?


My 2 cents:
I love to see the trends on a runway show but that does not mean I am a blind follower. For me, personal style is very important because how you dress really defines who you are. I love military inspired clothes because they can enhance my personality in the public. I know this coming season the trend for menswear is leaning towards loose fit, or drapes but unfortunately, I do not have the urge to be a Jedi from Star Wars due to the fact that my height cannot carry those clothes nicely on my body.

Now it's time for you to give in you 2 cents! Make sure you tag #fashionunfold on twitter and follow us @fusionofeffects@FashionCrazy_ and @MissSLY !
