If you’re a big fan of [paper creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fold-and-crease-extended) (especially on the fashion front) but want to avoid all those nasty paper cuts, the Tour de Force S/S 2010 collection is perfect for you. With [statement pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set) that look suspiciously like origami art, you’ll be able to express your love for the world of paper without paying the consequences.

Something Lady Gaga would be drawn to, [Style Bubble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/style-chemistry) is correct in thinking that the Tour de Force S/S 2010 collection could be taken for a line of costumes rather than ready-to-wear fashions. Yet, I’m sure that there are women other than Lady Gaga who would be daring enough to work-in some interesting style into their wardrobe.
