It's no secret that different ethnicity's have a major impact on our apparel design today. I believe that it brings a unique style to the traditional American design. You can look at designers such as Free People and see that it is indirectly influenced by a different culture. Free People consists of a lot of bohemian designs, something you maybe seen wore in the Caribbean. Also, after researching the most recent New York Fashion week, much of the style I saw was European.
The most common ethnic design that I see is the large bangles and "junky" jewelery. This fad came about a couple years ago and has really stuck. I see girls wearing this almost everyday. It reminds me of a more Indian style, however, it is quickly losing its ethnic feel due to the fact that is has become so "Americanized."
I would really like to see more ethnic designs make its way to everyday fashion here. It would be interesting to see the American take on Chinese or Japanese style.
