East Meets West (Ethnic Influences on Fashion)
Description
Living in a globalized, multicultural world, people often don't realize the ethnic origins of everyday clothes. Pajamas borrowed their name from the Hindi word for pants, and tie-dye techniques were imported from the East. Many ethnic designs have blended seamlessly into our daily wardrobe, while others are worn to set us apart and show pride in our heritage.
