This cluster of multicultural fashions highlights our fascination with other cultures and our willingness to embrace styles from other regions, without defining ourselves -- or them -- by those fashion choices.
Wearing multicultural fashion shows acceptance and respect for other backgrounds, but it also shows our ability to show that we can have fun while honoring each other's differences.
Implications - What truly defines the unity of ethnic backgrounds is the fact that designers have incorporated cultures outside their own into their designs. This has resulted in beautiful outfits that have a traditional aesthetic with a twist that doesn't eliminate its origins entirely. Whether it's African combined with South American or Asian and European, fusion fashion will inspire you to look for inspiration outside of your own culture.
