Hello, Marianne —and welcome to English Forums. Just a bit awkward. I suggest: She no longer seeks to match the fashion trends.

Thank you for your suggestion!
But I am not sure if "match the fashion trends" has meaning in English.

In other words I want to say: "She still has not interested to follow the fashion trends."
Are my two sentences the same meaning?

If it did not, I would not have let it stand.

Perhaps. Now I am not clear on what you wish to say. Which is it?—

She no longer seeks to match/follow the fashion (trends).

The second sentence expresses what I want.

So, could be my first sentence written as:

She has not still sought to match the fashion trends.

'Not' is out of place. And I still suggest the shorter, more native form: She has still not sought to follow the fashion.
