It's very obvious that in the world of apparel and design there are definite ethnic influences. Some of the ethnic infulence you see in the fashion today are african, indian, as well as asian. I believe the one culture you see the most in the Western culture is the Indian influence of dress. Over the years, we see a lot of tunics, silk dresses, bright colors, etc. that all come from other countries.
After looking at several of the collections shown during New York fashion week, I came across Nicole Miller's collection. I read that her Spring 2009 collection was inspried by a recent trip to Haiti. The Haiti influence comes through in the bright, magical-like colors seen in the collection.
As well as seeing other cultures influence our way of dress, you also see the westernization of dress in other countries. Not even just with dress alone, but with phyical features as well.
In order to stay fashion forward, we have to be aware of what's going on in the world of fashion around us.
