How do you express your personal style?

Words: Lindsey Bistline

Is Ohio City our own Harajuku? The Tokyo district that’s home to punks and fashionistas is definitely more extreme, but there’s fashion lurking under the winter coats and scarves in Cleveland.

Are you a trendsetter? Does the very word “trend” make you want to throw up? Do you ignore trends and make up your own fashion, or is it classic all the way? Whatever your style, fashion is a way of expressing yourself to the world without uttering a single word. It’s something we engage in every day, whether we mean to or not. In true Fruits magazine fashion, HB went to Ohio City to see what fashion is brewing on the street.
