Fashion blogging has become extremely popular and is currently being followed as a career for many young people. An example of a person who has chosen fashion blogging as a tool for her career is the famous Filipino-Chinese fashion blogger named Trisha Gosingtian. Trisha Gosingtian is a 23-year old photographer-turned-blogger from Metro Manila, the Philippines. She started her blog “Tricia Will Go Places” way back when she was doing a street style photography stint for a newspaper when she decided to upload her work from this project online. She wasn’t able to sustain her blog because of her busy schedule in college, so she sustained it by posting photos of herself. People then started following her blog until it became her main business. The fashion blogger has become one of Lookbook.nu’s top 10 fashion inspirations, a top blogger on Tumblr, and a “style icon” on Chictopia. Tumblr has chosen her to be one of the top 24 fashion bloggers in the world and the only blogger from Asia sent to cover New York Fashion Week.

Fashion blogging has not only been used as a tool by young people to brand and promote their sense of style, but it has also been used by many companies to promote their brand through endorsements and sponsorships by their chosen fashion blogger. Trisha has becoming a product ambassador for Forever 21, has worked with Bayo (a famous Filipino clothing store) and Heima (a famous Filipino furniture shop).
