Tuesday November 6th 2012 will mark the 57th presidential election of the United States.  That gives the next 11 months for fashion trends to lean towards the patriotic side of the industry.  I dont believe that the clothing styles will only resemble patriotic symbols but will also take into consideration the different view points of both parties.  in this next year's clothing forecast i picture clothing having Democratic and Republican stand points.  we should be able to look at clothing on the runway and be able to figure out the political view point of the designer.  Clothing is a way we express ourselves as individuals, and i believe designers will take their views into consideration in designing this years line.

stripped blouses and rich red colors might be a trend we see fashioned on the streets.

Drapped Clothing that resymbols that of the statue of liberty might also be a trend that we see in 2012 leading up to the election.
