Fashion is a blend of culture and diversity that form together to make a piece of clothing. Fashion is obviously not just a piece of clothing but a statement. Most of today's trends, colors, accessories, and basic style gracing cat walks and fashion magazines represent a combination of all ethnicities. Countries such as India, Egypt, and Africa greatly influence fashion trends today.
India's culture is a major trend right now. Bangle jewelry and chandelier earrings is a good example of a trend with ethnic influence, they have both been worn by women of India for centuries. Egypt however is a very surprising ethnic influence on fashion. Africa has quite a large influence on today's fashion world with influences of animal prints and beaded bone-like jewelry. The colors turquoise, gold, and lapis, which are all very popular today, were first used by Egyptians.
Part of the reason I chose to do fashion as a major is for the great collision of ethnicities it entails. Not only is it art, but it is speakable art to not one culture but every culture. When art can speak to more than one ethnicity it is truly beautiful.
