Ethno Pop Textures Vol.1

When the world is beyond control fashion reacts by returning to its origin. In an increasingly globalised world, creativity is becoming more and more a common heritage. Research in fashion has always drawn from cultures all over the world, reproposing for itself designs from ethnic groups which are far away in time and space. This book does not attempt to historicise but wishes only to gather the decorative aspects which have largely become an organic part of popular culture.
