When you think about “ethnic style” in fashion, you suddendly think about something inspired by the crafts of a specific country, often India or Africa, like embroidered caftans, traditional garments, traditional embellishments… nothing new, to say it all. Nevertheless, ethnic is a recurring trend, and often the designers try to make it new in some way.
My suspicion is: yes they are. I mean. Look at their creations. It is hard to find the same level of happiness and colorful craziness in their cousins apparel designers, don’t you think? Apart from Jeremy Scott! It looks like if playing with yarns favors a general positive and playful attitude towards creation and fashion itself. We already told about Tom Scott and his beautiful past lookbooks, but see also other young designers like the Icelandic Sigríður Ásta Árnadóttir, the Americans of All Knitwear, the Japanese designer Hanako Narahira, and the London based Yang Du, to name a few.
