Ethnic Influences

Anna Sui's Spring 2009 collection 

was inspired by Egyptian's culture. 

Not only was it represented in design but colors as well. Though this is a spring collection, Anna Sui decided to go bold by mixing warm and cool colors instead of the traditional pastel colors that is usually seen throughout most spring collections. This collection also has a spanish influence with its unique and detailed patterns. Each collection piece had an accessory to complete each look.

In Diane von Furstenberg's Spring 2009 collection, we see an Indian influence through hair accessory that resembles a similar look to what we see in the Disney movie, "Pochahonas." This collection shows freedom in colors and how different combinations can bring to a great piece of design. The leather purses brings another addition to this idea.
